  • The Aura ONE was discontinued more than a year ago. It isn't going to be revived.
  • Kobo will continue to update the firmware for a while.
  • Kobo will introduce a large screen ereader without page turning buttons when the fashion swings back to not having buttons again.
  • Any new large screen buttonless ereader will not be called the Aura ONE Edition 2. And it specs won't be a direct follow on (especially won't use the separate colour LEDs).

I could be wrong, and based on my history, posting the above will mean that Kobo announces an Aura ONE Edition 2 in August.
Very clever:
  1. Post about what would make your ideal reader
  2. Claim it will never happen
  3. Wait for August
It's so simple, it's genius!
