RUMOR FLASH!

I have just been notified by a reliable sauce source that all new Kobo ebook readers will now have removable batteries. (NOTE: R&D is currently working on making the readers fit this newly-developed battery, pictured below.)

Rumor also has it that the battery will last 400 years. As we all know, usage in real-life, such as page turns and the use of a front-light, will decrease actual battery life by as much as 10-15%. (NOTE: Ebook companies typically make these false claims when disclosing battery life.)

Also rumored to be in development is a new front-light technology, code-named the Immersive Front Light Experience ™ which adds an exciting new dimension to one's reading experience.

"We're trying to develop a new generation of e-readers, along with a new generation of readers, whom we see as a discerning group of people who like to stay at home when they read," Dr. Pin O. Chio said, Kobo's newly-hired spokesperson.

"Kobo is committed to making the next generation of ebook readers more than just a rumor," he finished, and then tweaked his nose playfully as he walked away from the crowd of reporters.
