It's official:

Press release: http://news.kobo.com/news-releases/r...rtable-ereader

Store (Canada): https://ca.kobobooks.com/products/ko...&utm_campaign=

Ad: https://ca.kobobooks.com/products/ko...&utm_campaign=

Price: $299CAD - Aura ONE is $249.

Highlights: 8", buttons, waterproof, 8GB, Comfortlight PRO, landscape mode.

Overall, I like the looks. It will be interesting to see how it feels to hold it.

And one noticeable absence in the pictures: Nothing to suggest it can be held with the buttons on the left.

And one I didn't notice the first time through:

Quote:
MobiusŪ technology, which uses a flexible plastic layer within its display
That makes it much lighter than the Aura ONE and lighter than the Aura H2O2 - 197g, 230g and 207g respectively. And should make it less prone to breaking.
