And as you said, they probably will, it might just take time....
I can see a possibility that they might only enable it on the models still being sold. So, not adding it to the Touch, Glo and Mini would be reasonable. But, the Glo HD and Aura H2O are still on the market, and enabling it on these devices seem reasonable.

One problem I could see is if there is some sort of licence and fee involved. This might be included in the Aura One price, but makes it harder to add to devices already sold.

Whatever, the poll is still kind of silly IMHO -- what exactly will it accomplish? Will Kobo suddenly add it because of the outcome of the poll?
Well, it gives everyone a central place to complain. And easy way for those not interested in the discussion to ignore it.
