My thought, exactly

You're right but people here have found a reference to a small ereader in the last firmware details (or something like that) and I don't think that's for the Glo HD. Also Michael Kozlowski, the Goodereader reviewer, wrote in the comments section "I don't know if Kobo is releasing a 2nd gen Aura this year. I know they have a Mini 2 coming out soon though.". That makes me quite hopeful

Edit: I've also found this "Ma passiamo ad Aura H2O che, con il nuovo Glo HD, rappresenta l'offerta attuale di e-reader Kobo, anche se si aspetta un Kobo Mini di seconda generazione nei prossimi mesi."
My Italian is basic at best, but I guess it means roughly "even though a Kobo Mini second generation is expected next month". Fingers crossed
