That's a surprise. I figured if we hadn't seen one of these leaks before now, we weren't going to see another new device this year.

My bet would be an "Aura ONE Edition 2". Basically the Aura ONE but with the same CPU that the Clara HD has. The case might be updated to match the Clara HD. And hopefully an improved light.

The article mentions an SD card, but I don't see that in a quick search of the documents. I can see reference to memory whose part numbers start with "SD", but they seem to be embedded chips. There are two sizes, 8GB and 32GB, so that suggests Kobo is preparing two versions with the different memory sizes. Maybe one of them will be an "Aura ONE Limited Edition Edition 2". Or is that "Aura ONE Edition 2 Limited Edition"?

As to hints in the firmware, there wasn't anything in the last released firmware. There is a "Walmart" release coming soon, so we can search that when it is out. But, I'd be stunned if a new device was released now.
