And I think that the main lack in Kobo is the entry level device: nothing like Kindle (€ 79,99); also if I think that a 167 ppi device is not something I could buy many people would like the low price.
Now here in Italy in Kobo site You could buy only Clara, Forma and Libra: no more Aura H2O Edition 2 and Aura Edition 2. I don't know if they will be dismissed or it is only a temporary situation.
But I also think that something like a Oasis without buttons and at a lower price could be interesting for many people.
