As to the weight, at least Aura One is lighter than H2O, so that is something.

But for that money I want a card slot and buttons to turn pages. And also some consistency in quality would be great. These screens currently are like playing a lottery.
So perhaps better to wait for an open android version with the card slot, with buttons and the screen manufacturing issues will be ironed out in the mean time.
I hope that perhaps Boyue or somebody eventually will begin making them.

Another thing. Even though 8" or 7.8" sizes are the same as those of paperbacks, their hight / width ratios are all wrong.

i agree with all the points you make, although don't hold your breath for Kobo to implement any of them.

best wishes koboy
