That's a safe bet. It fits with the usual timing for Kobo's releases. I'd expect an official announcement either this week or next
Do you think it's the reason way the next firmware release is delayed, because of the new device?

I wouldn't mind a 5", but am hoping that the "Clara" will be a 6" HD equal or better that the glo HD, with an improved frontlight, AND an SD Card slot!

Are 5" 300 DPI screens available from eInk? Looking at their web site, I see a 5.17" screen, but it doesn't look like a 4:3 ratio.

As much as I wish they had released an update to fix the stats, I'm not sure if there was any plan to release one earlier than now.

Anything else - don't want.

Money to buy - don't have. So will be hoping it's not point 1 or 2 LOL

A 6" 300 dpi with comfort light pro may tempt me, but I am quite satisfied with my Glo HD.

I have a Kobo Glo HD, I am very happy with it, but I'm looking for an upgrade. Clara HD has me intrigued. Can't wait to see the full specs/design!

I think you need to give up the SD card slot. Kobo seems to have done so. As long as there's +3GB of storage available, I can live without additional storage.

If it's a new 5" or 6" HD reader, I'll likely buy. Anything larger and I'm out.

If it's a new 5" or 6" HD reader with color changing light and it's waterproof? I'll probably have a heart attack. But I'll try to buy one first.

I don't know how to say it without coming off like the snob I guess I am. But a nice, new HD reader doesn't seem to pair with a Walmart partnership. If anything, the Aura edition 2 (at a cheaper price) is what I would expect from a Walmart Reader.

It's entirely possible they'll make their full line available at Walmart. I think that would be the smart thing to do. But I'm not a marketer so maybe not.

I think the only thing that would seriously tempt me is a 5" lighted ereader.

If they greatly improved the PDF reader and quality control, I'd consider the 32 GB Aura One Limited.

If enough people ask for the SD card slot, perhaps they will listen!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I got the impression that Walmart will be selling the whole Kobo line of devices. If not in the stores at least online.
