This was expected to be announced and released at the same time as the Glo HD. But, it wasn't and no-one knows whether it is still coming or not. Maybe they decided to postpone it until October. But, I don't expect to see another higher-end device this year.
Do people still need such an archaic device you described? Even if its cost would be around 70$, why on Earth not to add a little more money and pick a Glo HD?

Considering the next high-end model from Kobo, I'd like to see there a 6.8" screen with 300 ppi. I do see some fonts imperfections with 265 ppi, the fonts are just not enough smooth. And I wish Kobo could manage to hide the LEDs, like it's done in the Kindle Voyage.
