Buying Aura One from Japan
Since Kobo is out of stock on the Aura One, I'm thinking of buying one on ebay from Japan. Are there any features like Overdrive access that might not be on a Japanese model? Thanks

The short answer is that you won't have any problems. But, this has been discussed here several times, so I suggest you do a search for the details.

May take forever to arrive. Where are you located? I am in the USA. I too have thought about it.

They are back in stock at Chapters for those whom shipping from Canada works for. In the U.S. it really makes sense due to the current exchange rate.

Many thanks for that info. I'll probably go the Canada route due to favorable exchange rate plus ability to return the unit if something is wrong

Bought an Aura from Chapters. Even with shipping, coupled with Canadian dollar to U.S. rate being down, total was $30.00 cheaper than U.S. MSRP price if Kobo had stock
