You mean dedicated ereader devices? Eink devices have always been a niche product among those used to read ebooks (mostly phones and tablets). The size of the Aura One is somewhat inbetween - larger than 6 inch devices (harder to stick in a pocket and take anywhere) but too small to comfortably read full page pdf files.
In the US Kobo will have a real hard time grabbing market share until they make it a lot easier to purchase.
