Either that or put up a "buyer beware" notification on the Amazon Marketplace instead of a bogus "A-to-z Guarantee." You can't promise what you don't deliver and expect that it won't – eventually – damage your business. And I think it's beginning to damage Amazon's business. It seems like a lot of times corporations get complacent once they've gotten too big. I think Amazon is at that stage.

It really is very simple.

I hate hate prime and amazon outside of ebooks and kindle. They always drop my package at the apt office 3 blocks away and they are closed so they dump it outside of the building in an unlocked area where any one of 300 people that live here can steal it let alone a homeless person steal it . Ya I am in the inner city. I have to watch delivery status and as soon as it says delivered I have to run 3 blocks like a bat out of hell to find my packaged tossed aside before its stolen. Yes I will be home to accept delivery buyt thy never once try to actually deliver to me . They have a distribution center here so I think they use their own people to deliver when it comes to prime or DSL.

We got one package after 10:30 P.M. once. And we have an Amazon distribution center about five miles north of us.

Just saw the notice after posting. Sorry. No more.

However, when I printed out the page I realised that the header (buttons and "Settings") is too large when compared to the same display on my Aura One. So then I tried resizing the page display until I got the header into proportions that seemed reasonably similar to the display on my Aura One, and that came up with a 6" screen.

So if anyone's making book, I'll put my money on 6", 300 dpi.

(I was going to keep this guess to myself - but where's the fun in that? )

Hmmm... I'm hoping for something a little more exciting than just a another 6" reader.

The image resolution is 718x958, there is no Ink screen at that resolution, if keep the ratio and change the resolution the only resolution that fit is 600x800.

No e-ink color screen either?

There is a 5.6in screen with red color.

I wondered if it was possible to compare the images in the FCC filings for "known" devices like the KA1, and this Clara.

Here's the "About" screen at the FCC for the KA1

Here's the "About" screen at the FCC for the Clara

You'll note the image for the KA1 looks nothing like the About screen for an actual KA1, so I'm not sure you can extrapolate anything from the Clara's About screen.

chrissridd, I'm not sure it's possible to extrapolate either, but thought it was amusing to try. Take a look at the header on both pages, the top-left and top-right button images in particular. Clara obviously comes from a significantly smaller screen zoomed in; I'm guessing a 6" screen.

I'm betting on a 1072x1448 resolution My WEG specs are 6", 300DPI using the eInk ED060KC1 display module with added RGB frontlight, HZO waterproofing, i.MX6SLL processor, mass storage will be 8GB eMMC and 512MB/1GB LPDDR3 RAM -- I'd like to see 1GB but suspect 512MB is the more likely configuration.

The processor is based on it's use in the Rev 2 versions of Kobo's H2O V2 and Aura V2 ereaders.

That's what I was hoping would be released when the Aura ONE was released and the Glo HD was discontinued. And I think my "Glo ONE" was a better name

The 1GB RAM would be a good idea, but I agree it isn't likely.

I think that's safe bet.

That would be a "buy it now" for me. I've wanted a 6" HD waterproof reader for a while now. Enough that I was checking into Glowlight Pluses, though I want a little more storage than the Plus has.

I thought I didn't really care about color changing frontlight. But reading in a darkened room at night, my Aura is way more glaring than the Glowlight 3. It doesn't really bother me, but the better half will complain about the light.

It will be a, "Why do you need another ereader?" for me. That, of course, will be asked by my wife.

And I actually have an answer: Because you have my Aura ONE!

Does anyone think that will work?
