i agree with GeoffR comment i have no interest in a waterproof e-reader as far i'm concerned the external micro SD card slot is a very important feature and not worth sacrificing for water proofing imho.

your theory i'm afraid doesn't explain why the external micro SD card slot isn't on the Aura Edition 2, because as i'm sure you know that isn't waterproof, my cost cutting theory does however explain it's absence.

also the Glo HD didn't have the external micro SD card slot and that wasn't waterproof either, so imho the only conclusion i can take from this is it's a cost cutting decision by Kobo.

best wishes koboy
