I've already been is four different FNAC's in hope to find an Aura with more soften shadows but with no luck. Quite the opposite, as this last one is even more visible than all the previous! =/

The Glo HD is already available for sale in Portugal but not yet in FNAC stores. I guess Kobo strategy could be trying first to run out their Aura 6" stock before launching the Glo HD in FNAC stores (to which they are associated).

Anyway, although the HD resolution and a whiter background are very attractive upgrades, I really resist to give up the flushed screen design (which by the way, prevents the shadow cast in the screen) and regress to an indented screen.

davidfor, I don't have the knowledge to discuss what you're saying but I do know that my first Aura 6" had the 3.15 installed and It wasn't as if it was updated later, because the factory reset always restored to 3.15.
