I've set up a notification on the FCC website under Netronix, so if any changes occur I'll receive an email immediately. But I also check it almost every day manually. So far no change since last June, almost a year ago. Let's say they put a new entry there tomorrow, we still won't get anything until late August or September at best.

Of course, this assumes that Netronix will be the manufacturer for Kobo. It's only May, so there's still a chance we get something this year. If not, this will be the first year since the Kobo Touch (2011) that Kobo hasn't released anything new. That would be a shame.

I just don't get it. Kobo has a book store, probably they have their most income from there. What do they expect? Most books are with BW text and without images. But they mostly sell colour ereaders, which is a quite terrible way to read these books, compared to BW ereaders at least.
Colour reader owners please don't get offended.

I also don't like the fact that the Kobo CEO is very active on social media yet never says a word about any upcoming ereaders, ever. In fact, he cringily avoids the topic like it's hot lava or something.
