Others have already mentioned Goodereader's reliability when it comes to rumors or much of anything else.
Didn't the first gen Nook sort of do this?
Admittedly, the LCD was navigation only?

Yeah, but they mean more like this:


I'm not sure that is what they are implying. But I've seen them make such speculation before.

GoodeReader just released another article saying that the upstream supply has confirmed this and they have given more information about the Reader.

According to them, the Reader's stylus is using some same technology as the Apple Pencil. It will need to be charged every few days and will have a USB port at the top.

Quote: Kobo is developing a next generation e-reader that will have note taking functionality and come with a stylus. The upstream supply chain has yielded that it will be an Active Electrostatic stylus, instead of a Electromagnetic Resonance stylus. You’ll find Wacom’s EMR technology in is professional-caliber devices, including Cintiqs and the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro line, in addition to the Sony Digital Paper and many other E-Notes such as the Onyx Boox MAX 3 and Likebook Alita. Examples of products using AES is found on the Apple Pencil, Dell Premium Active Pen and is similar to the N-Trig tech found on the Surface line of pens.

The new Kobo e-reader should be launched around August or September of 2020. It is expected it will have either a 7.8 or 10.3 inch screen and be geared towards making notes, editing PDF files, and making annotations in ebooks.

As Nate's excellent list shows, the phrase "don't hold your breath" is a helpful mantra for all things goodereader related - apt, since they're vaporware kings

How many different release dates have they given for a supposed Voyage 2?
I know it's at least two, I think 3 or more by now.

There's an opportunity, perhaps, for Kobo to take the reMarkable 2 and put their own logo on it and their own software inside it? About the same time frame for supposed delivery.

If this new supposed Reader from Kobo turns out to be real, it better not be a botch job like Sony and only support PDF.

It’s almost a shame GoodEReader doesn’t have a print edition. They might serve some beneficial use then.

Where is this? I don't see a another article on their site that mentions Kobo. The last one I can see is from the 6th and I assume it was the one that prompted this thread.

I think I found it in Google's cache. So, they are so confident in the article that they didn't leave it up even a day. But, it's the same rubbish they usually state. The bit you quote is just them saying, "these other things exist, therefore Kobo will do it as well." The article then goes on to talk about the "secret developer options" options as if they are something new. They then base some of it on the "digital note taking app", which they imply is new, but is just the Sketchpad that has been in the firmware for at least six years. They even have a photo of a Libra H2O running this with someone using a stylus to draw. Something that is possible with any of the devices using capacitive touch. Of course, for the devices using IR touch, you can use anything. Sure, the photo is just for example, but, they are using it to make a much bigger deal of this than it really is.

The only thing I believe in the article is that Kobo are planning to release a new device in August or September this year. But, that's a pretty safe prediction.

They don't like Kobo. When they review Kobo vs Kindle, they make the Kobo look awful and they don't show the features that Kobo has that Kindle does not.
