New to the thread, so a quick thanks for all the links to reviews. After its ominous quiet, I'm really pleased Kobo is coming out swinging again. The new device sounds even better than I hoped it might.
Personally, I'm not so fussed about the loss of the SD slot, since I've never actually used the one in my Aura HD. (I know, others' needs vary; I'm just speaking for myself). The drop in battery life ... well, I guess there's got to be a trade-off for the new lights and the size of the screen. And speaking of the lights, I'm really happy about the ability to grade colour temperature on the display. That's a fantastic facility to have.
For the new firmware: on my current Aura HD, the light intensity slider is hopelessly clunky, so I'd love to see that get a redesign.
I wonder how long it'll take to be available in Australia? ;-)
