Aura HD Aurua removal from website?

John F · 06-17-2013, 11:17 AM

I was just browsing the Kobo site (I'm from the U.S), and it looks like the main links to the Aura have been removed. There is no link/mention under "eReaders". There is a link in the rotating panel ("Order Aura HD"), where the contests usually show up.

Interesting, it was still there over the weekend.

If you mean here: http://www.kobo.com/ereaders but on the US website, then in Canada, the Aura is still there.

Wonder if they either decided that it wasn't working how they were doing it in the US or if they found a bigger partner?

Yes, that's the link. Aura isn't shown when I go there (the Glo, Mini, touch, and Arc are shown).

Oh no! It was there over the weekend, but definitely gone now. I ordered an extra Glo with the $20 coupon...now I wish I'd ordered an extra Aura instead (no coupon for those though!) I love mine! If anything happens to it I'd feel awful if I couldn't replace it.

Noo!! I was waiting for my paycheck to order one and today is payday...

Edit: The direct link is still active - http://www.kobo.com/koboaurahd.

Just went to the main page on my iPhone in the USA. It's still there, so I'm not sure what folks are(n't) seeing....

I wish it would come back with a sale banner. I want one but have to wait...unless they run a sale!

Not yet. I get my paycheck tonight and (as a poor college student) have to wait until I can deposit it before I am actually able to buy one.

Hope you can get one soon...it really is a wonderful device.

Do you ever get the impression that someone at Kobo wants to play with the minds of MR readers, just to create some excitement?

When I went earlier today, from Canada, the Aura was still there but the Expresso model wasn't available under the buy now link. I wonder if it disappeared for a while they were updating their pages to reflect the available versions.
