Since it has no external micro-SD slot, it will be interesting to find out if it has an internal slot like most of the other models do, and if it is easy to open the case to access it. The Kobo Mini didn't have an external slot, but it was very easy to open it up and replace the internal card with something larger.

Prices:
$129.99 (CA/US), €129.99 (EU), £109.99 (UK), $179.99 (AU), $219.99 (NZ)
It is interesting to compare the prices in the same currency. As a multiple of the Canadian price, at today's exchange rates:

Canada: 1.00, US: 1.25, EU: 1.35, UK: 1.57, Australia: 1.33, NZ: 1.59

So Canada gets the best deal fair enough, but UK and NZ not so good.

Edit: This pic from the Glo HD overview on Kobo's website shows the advanced font settings (TypeGenius) with seperate weight and sharpness sliders, like they used to be in earlier firmware. Hopefully this means they will be bringing the seperate sliders back in the next firmware?
