@jerryleejr: Kobo's releases happen in either March/April/May or August/September/October. So, we won't see another new device for at least six months. And I don't think we'll see one early next year.
To my mind the next device would be a 6" device with the extra hardware features of the Aura One. So, a "Glo One".
All the currently available devices are good. They will work for a long time no matter what new hardware is released. Look at them and decide which you think fits your use and buy it. Don't wait for a mythical device that might be available in six or twelve months.
For Overdrive, I think that Kobo will release this to the other devices. I think it would be a mistake for them not to. The main question is the timing. But, I can see them only releasing it to the currently available devices (Glo HD, Aura H2O) and not the older devices no longer sold (Touch, Glo, Mini). The Touch 2 could be excluded as well as it is a budget device. And I'm surprised it isn't on the Aura Edition 2.

I learned a long time ago if you wait for the next latest and greatest you will always be waiting...I like everything about the Aura one expect the size, I've been reading on a PRS T1 and also my iPad mini to compare the screen sizes. I prefer the smaller screen and portability. So I guess it's more of a get the glo HD now or keep using the T1 for a few more months until Kobo releases a smaller device with the features of the "One"
