Remove Comic/Manga support. I have not used them once.

I thought back on it and I can see the need for the browser, but the games are still something that seem trivial to me.
As for comic/manga support, still something I'd like to see better support for. It's a big market and I think if they tapped it and promoted the Aura One as the perfect Comic reading size, which numerous threads here have stated that 8" is ideal for the purposes of Manga. However looking at the real world measurements of a page for a manga volume, your looking at a 5.5" x 7.75" page, with an actual content area of 4.75" x 7", giving us a diagonal measurement of 8.3". The Aura One falls .5" short of this number, but closer than the average of most ereaders, which would be 6", which is short by 2.3". Couple that with the Aura One's 300 DPI and you have a pretty close substitute for tree pulp.
You could go larger, however the DPI on many of the larger ereaders like Onyx is a lower DPI, which for sharp lines with comics is not the greatest of reading experiences. It's a want, which last time I checked/lurked was what this thread was about. Would love to see Kobo embrace the geek side of literature and yes comics are literature. Don't believe me, read Watchmen.
