Thank you ZodWallop.

I was referring to Kobo's current line up and their strategy, i.e. what is for sale currently, in particular in the U.S. Also, in particular, what I would like/am interested in. In particular, I'm less interested in the larger sizes, so, again, Kobo has no 6" 300ppi devices. In particular, eink devices. Sorry if that wasn't all clear in my other post.

I've heard the argument that for larger sizes, Amazon sees their tablets as filling this niche. I do think the Aura One is very nice device, and I will probably buy one if "my" H2O dies. In particular, I don't use the H20, but I did buy it (for me mum), completely support it (i.e. buy books and put them on the reader), and do support for when the firmware acts up; so I consider it "mine".

So again, I think it is interesting that Amazon offers 3 6" ppi devices, and Kobo offers none.

And as I said earlier (sorry if I'm repeating myself): if my Glo HD dies, I'm going back to my Glo, than my Aura (original), and if those dies, I'm going to look at all vendors; if Kobo still offered a 300pp 6" device, the choice would be a no-brainer (for me).
