By 'premium', I mean that it had some sort of outstanding design and a relatively hight price tag.
The reviews for the original Aura tended to say it was a fine, but expensive reader (though cheaper than the Aura HD). It was also flashy with its flat bezel.
And while I agree that the Glo HD is better than the Aura 2, Kobo obviously couldn't justify keeping the device on the market at that price, or they have something grand up their sleeve.
It's a shame they couldn't keep the same nice Carta screen in the Aura 2. At least then it could compete with the Paperwhite 3. I really don't know who they are marketing the Aura 2 to, except for Kobo owners whose current device breaks.
