Yeah 212 ppi isn't great but from my pov it's still a step up from the 165 ppi of the original Touch (don't know if the Touch 2.0 increased the resolution or not).

I wonder if Kobo will at some point phase out the Touch 2.0 and make this the new entry level device. If this had directly replaced the Touch 2.0 it would have made alot more sense in their line-up.
The Touch 2.0 is 167 ppi. This was just launched in September 2015, so you would think it would live a while longer.

The beauty of Kobo's strategy is they can claim that they offer more e-reader models than anyone, but not have to build manufacturing capacity for the 2 that no one will buy.

If I was in need of a reader right now, I would have a hard time deciding. I really am looking forward to seeing peoples real comments on the new models.
