Drool no, a bit jealous maybe haha. 128Gb is a lot of space.
Personally I don't care much for the waterproofing (of course you can't have an open micro sd slot if you want waterproofing).
First thing - the 32Gb Aura one is all sold out everywhere I look - I'm guessing the larger storage is what everyone needs (or at least thinks they will need - of course I agree) ie Best buy and indigo. The only thing available is libre the forma and of course the clara. Now, I wouldn't pay $300 bucks for an e reader. About $100 is what I would spend. Even the $200 for the libre and forma is steep. Back when I got the kobo aura's I believe it was for $99.
Now I can find them on ebay and no where else but there seems to be loads of them in China - so what are they doing with them? (loading spy software and selling them back?) anyways that's about the only place I can get my hands on an micro sd card slotted Kobo. I don't have a kobo with a light but luckily I got my family members one so they can read in the dark.
Regarding the micro sd cards, I can simply take one sd card and no matter who has an e reader with them I can pop it in and my books are there. With these new readers (of course it's not a deal breaker - well it is with no micro sd card slot - but..) I have to load my books on them rather than just popping in a micro sd card.
What happened to the new kobo mini2? Did I miss that? If it had a light, and a micro sd card slot! Bamm! I'd buy that in a second (been looking for a kobo that can easily fit in my pocket.
