A rather odd statement about Kobo not having any 300 DPI devices and comparative pricing. Even more amazing in light of you listing a Kobo Glo HD in your profile.

I was under the vague impression that the Glo HD and Aura One both had 300 DPI screens. Some of Chapters-Indigo stores have stock on and are selling the Glo HD for $140Cdn which translates to $106.64US (price is the same as the Paperwhite 2015 at Amazon.ca). I admit a price comparison between the Aura One ($250Cdn) and the closest equivalent Kindle would have me comparing the Kindle Oasis at $400Cdn or the Kindle Voyage at $300Cdn (add $70Cdn for the Voyage or $100Cdn for the Oasis for 'free 3G').
