For me, Kobo really seemed to have lost their mojo after the release of the original Aura and Glo HD.

In their current batch of models, I'm not interested in a larger screen and the Aura Edition 2 feels like a step backwards. Plus I don't like the new home screen much. I could live with it, but that's about the best I could say for it. It doesn't feel much different than the Kindle and Nook home screens.

I know they have the Aura ONE and H202, but in the most popular segment, the six inch screen size, they gave up.

If they ever release a six inch reader with 300 PPI, larger on-board storage, a flush screen, blue light filter and it's waterproof, I'd get it. Any three of those five options would do. But if my Aura turned up it's toes today, I'd either get a Glowlight Plus or just get another Aura.
