Bol.com had an price action on the Aura until 15th of april, selling it for 99 euro's but now raised the aura to 119,- euro's.. any questions about the Glo HD are deleted from the platform,so I think this dealer just hope that no one knows about the Glo HD and try to sell as many as possible before they really go on sale.
They delayed the official release day for the Netherlands till june 1st, so the extra money for holidays that comes in may will be spend to the Aura, and then / christal ball modus on: they kick in for fathersday with the new Glo HD.. I think a lot of buyers now will feel not to good about it when it suddenly pops up.
Even my questions about the Glo HD on their Facebook page are deleted.
Normally they have a pre-order like they had with my prs-t3 of Sony for more then 6 weeks, now they have none.
So they try to sell the old ones,for the best possible price (for them,not for the buyer..)
There was a info page on the Dutch Kobo page telling all about the "personal assistant" but the Google cache doesn't show it anymore and the page now shows a 404
