Kobo planned this really well. All the stores that will sell Kobo Glo HD also have stock of Aura's... so they have a vested interest in selling as many of those as possible before the general populace realizes they are obsolete., (or at least, now worth much less than $129)

Yep I'm pretty sure it was a mistake that it was shipped out to me but I'm not complaining.
![]() FYI anyone thinking of buying this(in Canada) might want to order from Staples anyway because they have a promotion right now with Visa Checkout. If your order is over $100 and you pay with Visa Checkout, you save $20 off your order. That's why I ordered with them in the first place. Last edited by jhuynh; 04-19-2015 at 10:02 AM.

They delayed the official release day for the Netherlands till june 1st, so the extra money for holidays that comes in may will be spend to the Aura, and then / christal ball modus on: they kick in for fathersday with the new Glo HD.. I think a lot of buyers now will feel not to good about it when it suddenly pops up. Even my questions about the Glo HD on their Facebook page are deleted. Normally they have a pre-order like they had with my prs-t3 of Sony for more then 6 weeks, now they have none. So they try to sell the old ones,for the best possible price (for them,not for the buyer..) There was a info page on the Dutch Kobo page telling all about the "personal assistant" but the Google cache doesn't show it anymore and the page now shows a 404 https://nl.kobo.com/koboglohd Last edited by Nick_1964; 04-19-2015 at 07:29 AM. |

All to late,because in the patch firmware corner of this site they found the code in the software about 4 weeks ago. (3.12.0 i think.) But the national Kobo shop here first had a page, pictures and all, in our native language, and now they deleted it,or removed it. A site where I pre-ordered in The Netherlands, called me back and told me that they first where able to order it,but that all orders are cancelled by Kobo. So this will be hard to see how more and more people get their one delivered,while we can't order it until 1st of june... Last edited by Nick_1964; 04-19-2015 at 09:40 AM. |

I tried the "Fulltext search" option first; entering "the", to be sure and get over 100 results, and all the instances of "the", on the page, were highlighted and a navigation message window with direction arrows popped up. Of course there were "the" results on every page. Next, I'll try "discovery" and the first results were on the page I was on (306) the next arrow brought me to page 328. The book is about technical developments so "discovery" is used often. With the "the" search results pressing the go to last arrow brings me to the last page of the book with the "the" highlighted where it occurred on the page. The same with the go to first occurrence arrow, it went to the title page and highlighted all the "the" there. Is this the kind of search you were looking for? Luck; Ken |

This alone would be worth the new reader for me. I still miss the really smooth feel of the glass on my 350s, the Glo feels rough in comparison. |

I could be wrong, but wasn't the last mini kind of a failure for them overall? IIRC most of the sales for the device were only after it was heavily discounted. Or maybe I'm remembering wrong?
