(Yes, they are not exactly the same thing, but they are both high-end eReaders.)
They still have too many models in the lineup, IMO.
Having the Aura Edition 2 and the Clara at only $10 difference is just going to cause consumer confusion for no real advantage, especially now that the basic Kindle also has a backlight, and is $30 cheaper, so the Aura Ed 2 isn't really offering a competitive low-end alternative.
i'm in the UK and the Aura Edition 2 appears to be only available to buy on the Kobo website. two of the biggest retailers Argos and John Lewis don't have it listed on their websites anymore.

i believe the Aura Edition 2 is already being phased out/replaced by the Clara HD.
