I agree.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the next Clara is waterproof.

I hope so. I'd like a compact, 6" Kobo that is waterproof and has amber lights. Buttons are nice, but I can live without them.

I don't know if the Aura 2 is going to go away or if they're going to keep it to compete with Basic Kindle. Kobo still advertises it for $120 (and now, like Walmart, they're advertising the Clara for $120, that must be its new price). But Walmart sells the "special edition" Aura 2 for $50 — and they don't say anything about a sale. So, it's like Kobo doesn't quite know what to do with the Aura 2 (there's no way it should be priced the same as the Clara).

I think keeping a competitor to the basic Kindle is a good idea. But can they make a profit selling them at $50?
