I would suggest tempering your excitement until the device is released. As I recall, you disliked the lighting on the Oasis? There are huge technical challenges in producing a light guide that works well on an 8" screen; we need to wait and see what results Kobo have managed to achieve.

As for now though im trying to sweep under the rug my bitterness and resentment at my third Kobo Aura H2O broke after about 5 months of use... really makes me wonder why after all these years it appears so difficult to make a durable, pretty device with a nice screen
Given you appear to be rather hard on your reading devices (breaking three of them in a row is not a good track record!) perhaps you should consider an accidental damage insurance policy?
