So, maybe the Aura One has more problems than expected and they are fixing them. Or, the guys just didn't order/make enough to meet the demand. First case scenario : I'm happy I didn't buy one yet. First and second case scenario : someone should get fired...
Actually it was the Aura HD that was originally supposed to be limited a limited edition reader that was a runaway success. The H2O was a planned mainstream addition to their lineup. The Aura One was launched after reader research, but I think they viewed it as more of a premium niche reader aimed at hardcore readers and my impression is that it had a wider audience than that.
