Take a look at message #16 in this thread. As I mention in the edit information, about 1 minute after I posted the message, I got a PM stating fairly unequivocally that I was lying about having seen that since they could not click on the pre-order button. So I went back to the pre-order page and grabbed a screenshot where it still said Sept. 2nd plus the screenshot of the checkout page showing that I had been able to add an Aura H2O to my cart -- this was all around 7:30AM PDT.

Take a look at the image on the right. Now compare it to the current page where it has flipped back to Sept 1st. Link is http://www.kobo.com/koboaurah2o#overview. If I dig into my browser history, I can bring both versions up. Interestingly the source has been modified around the line reading: <!-- B-START ::: Kobo Aura H2O: Hero (CA, US, UK) ::: koboaurah2o-hero -->

Looks as if someone at Kobo is not taking Labour Day off.

David
