What I think to have understood from FNAC people (where in France Kobo's devices are sold) is that the next Kobo device is intended for people that eat while reading (or read while eating : it was not clear form what I heard), especialy saucy meal and so would be equiped with a screen whiper. You would be able to choose between 3 speeds : intermittent, normal and high speed (but this could be changed by firmware upgrades). It's obvious that this device will be waterproof and could be used in rainy climates such as the one that is encountered in Normandy for example, for people that read while walking (or walk while reading). For such people, a radar system could be bought as an option to signal Kobo's new device users of obstacles they could encounter during their reading wanderings. An other option would be an auto-defrost integrated inside the device for winter users : as much for deicing the screen as to warm up the hands that handle it (however, you should be aware that the battery life in such configuration will be shorter). Unfortunately, nobody at FNAC could tell me when this device will be available or how much you should have to pay to enjoy it.
