At the time it was the only large e-ink ereader and now people are getting more used to the idea of a little larger screen.
I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon came out with a 7" or 8" Kindle at some point since there seems to be a market. I doubt they'll feel pressured to do that to compete with Kobo but they might see the Aura One's success, if it is successful, as an opportunity.
Of course Amazon is full of surprises so guessing what they might do is just that; guessing.

Ok so it was really large and very expensive.
So pretty much nothing to do with this thread.
