I wish I had shares in Kobo.

For one, there's no one here as far as I can tell who's an official Kobo spokesperson so no one will hear.

But what you espouse is a single opinion, that isn't really supported by any research. if a SD slot was a big issue, then why hasn't any Kindle had them in a while.

Extra storage is nice, but when ebooks are quite small files (normally) - slapping tonnes of extra GB's on them is a niche market thing.

4gb seems pretty much standard these days.

If a replacement battery capability was a big selling point, then someone would have picked it up of the major players.

You're asking for an Aura 2 - and basically to go backwards. If you want to extend the life of your Aura - buy a replacement battery and find someone to fit it.

Extra features = extra cost. And there's not particularly a huge profit margin in e-readers. Ask Nook, for example.

You're asking (in metaphor) for the mountain to come to you, rather than go to the mountain.
