They need to release the under $100 model, a $79 would do very nice. How about the glo 3? Since many iksnay the kobo mini. However from a business perspective a kobo mini 2 selling at $49 would fly off the shelves, throw in an sd card slot and guaranteed you wouldn't be able to keep up to demand.
ps. sorry I forgot the Aura edition 2 which is $129.99 - currently the cheapest but only slightly however notice it's not in stock.
So very much wrong.

You can get the Walmart exclusive Kobo Aura with 1024x768 resolution, carta screen, and comfortlight for $69.96. SO yes, Kobo does have a decent low end model for lees then your proposed $79 price.
