IIRC, the legend was that the HD started with a batch of the screens that the manufacturer couldn't sell to anyone except for Kobo. So yeah, it might depend on whether that manufacturer is planning to continue with those screens or whether it's just happy to get rid of them. Then again, if the sales are really that good, it shouldn't be too expensive for them to renew the production even if they stopped.
