It looks like Kobo has a new Aura in the works, the Aura H2O.

Judging from the name and previous rumours, this one may be water-proof (actually, by the time the lawyers are done with it, it will be water-resistant to 1 metre).

Things we know:
  • 6.8 inch screen
  • WiFi
  • Micro SD slot
  • Model: N250
  • USB 2.0
  • Designed and probably manufactured by Netronix
  • Battery is: 3.7vdc, 1500mmAh (not sure if this is the production battery)
  • Adobe Reader version: 9.2.38311N/A (from the FCC)

Dutch: http://mustreads.nl/waterdichte-erea...t-deze-herfst/

German: http://allesebook.de/e-book-reader/k...display-50824/

I'm creating a thread for this, as now that it is at the FCC, it is no longer a rumour.

One of the FCC docs has an illustration calling the USB port a mini-USB, but that would be a big step backward.

Personally, I think that it has a Micro-USB port.
