Why is Kobo Going For Large Screen ONLY?
They discontinued support for Mini, and even removed it from their product list on their homepage. I doubt they are still selling them.

And now they come up with a single device for 2014, which is a 6.8" larger device as we all know.

Why are they not releasing a 5" Aura Mini (which I would LOVE to see) or even a 6" device? Why not broaden your spectrum and satisfy a broader audience? I for one don't like carrying a larger device and my Mini is great for "on-the-go". Did the Mini not sell well? Or did the original 6" Aura sales not please Kobo? Or is there something I am missing?

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I do love my Aura HD, just not as a lightweight, small device. And like I said, it would be better if they released other options for the different kinds of readers.
