Will definitely be interesting. Wonder if Amazon will have a press release on the same day?

Good, that will give Kobo some lead time.

A colour invitation is now an indication of a tablet release.
![]() We have much better indicators that Kobo is releasing a 6" ereader that uses the firmware from their eInk models. Even that is just indicators, not proof, of what Kobo has in the works. Maybe there's a tablet in there too, but I'm not going to place any weight on an invitations colourful motif as an indicator. |

FWIW, in Canada there is a huge sale on the current ARC at Staples. The 16 Gig is marked final sale and is $129, 32 for $179, 64 for $199. This could mean something

Perhaps Kobo is working on a video game console? I mean, who isn't working on one these days?

Still looking forward to 9" and above with comfortlight and color screen e-reader. I might be dreaming but hope it may comes true.

Well, it sounds like a new tablet, not just an e-ink reader. The Nexus 7 (2013) is hitting the German shelves on the 30th, and I consider getting one, but perhaps Kobo has something awesome in store, too. The Nexus is pretty hard to beat, though, especially at that price point.
As for an e-ink reader, well, I'm quite happy with the Glo. Color e-ink from Kobo would surprise me, and would be hard to resist for me. A bigger than 6" monochrome reader wouldn't, and nobody seems to want to make a 5" or smaller one with frontlight. ![]() |

By "beyond the book" perhaps they mean they're going to be selling music, movies, apps, etc? Personally, the idea of a new tablet from Kobo sounds rather unexciting.
