I want some leaks on that one. I don't suppose they will announce it at the same time as the cookie-sheet sized one? (Remember the promo photos of the Kindle DX---always shown being held in 2 hands? The @ 8" Kobo is even bigger, so....)(The promo photo showing the woman holding the big Kobo with one hand...her thumb is obviously smack in the center of the screen, no way could she actually be reading).
AFAIR, the Kobo 7.8" screen ereader is quite a bit smaller than a Kindle DX 9.7" screen ereader. The DX clocked in at 264x183x10mm compared to the Aura One at 195x138.5x6.9mm so the Aura One is about 2.7" shorter, 1.77" narrower and a mere 0.12" less depth.

As for the way the model is holding the ereader, since we only see the back of the device in the photo, she could easily be holding it the way I often do with my thumb pretty much vertical on the bezel ready to lash out to turn the page. OTOH, the XYL says forget the ereader, she wants the dog.
