The Aura Edition 2 is actually a very nice ereader, the problem is it's over priced. As a replacement for the Touch 2.0 it would have made alot of sense. A quality budget friendly device where screen res isn't so important. At £100 though it's coming up against ereaders with that killer 300ppi res and it just doesn't quite match up.
I wonder if they've replaced the Glo HD because it wasn't selling, it generated too little profit due to it's costs or was unreliable (or a mixture of all 3).
Kobo are pretty poor at providing information though. Why don't they officially confirm it's discontinuation (if that is indeed what's happened)? It's like this near mythical firmware update for KA1. Just a simple 'A firmware update is coming within the next month' or something would be sufficient.
I am a loyal Kobo customer but dang it they sure do make it hard to love 'em sometimes.
