Coming in on this very late but did not feel it was appropriate to start a new thread.

Lack of Overdrive integration downstream from the Aura One is keeping me from buying a new H2O. My Aura Hd is just fine and without Overdrive the H2O is not enough of an improvement for Kobo to get my money. The Aura One is too large for how I use my reader. As far as I know the basic hardware is identical for the new H2O and Aura One.

I surmise as others have that fear of cannibalization of their book sales is driving the decision making. In my case I don't think they would lose any sales. I get books from the library for my Aura HD that I would not buy for myself. For an author I am committed to I will happily spend my money with Kobo.
