The issue isn't the technical feasibility but rather the economic feasibility; can the marketting guys (who love long, fancy spec sheets)...[/QUOTE]

Which is epic stupidity. I have always seen that, the more money you want customers to spend, the more important looks will be, and the less important specs will become, if the product functions flawlessly.

Assume Kobo combines the Aura and Aura HD, and this will be the result:
- a 7 inch 4:3 e-reader.
- It looks like the 6 inch Aura with flat bezels, but it's even thinner, and the body is made out of aluminum.
- It has a super-bright e-ink screen, and an almost perfect front-light.
- It's fast. (Barring the page turn flicker) and has no glaring bugs in correctly formatted books.
- No internal storage, but it does have a micro-SDXC slot and comes with an 8GB card by default.
- The rest of the specs is almost completely unknown until somebody tears it down.
- It costs €200.

This will sell very well. I for one, would *jump* on it.

Hell... if you smack an Apple logo on the back of it instead of a Kobo one, you can probably sell it for €250 or even €300, and suddenly reading will be hip and super-cool. I mean it. If Apple ever introduces an e-reader, it will be something like this.
