It may take a while for the 3rd-party covers to become available with the on/off button being on the back.

It may be different in the US, but in the UK I've never been able to buy a decent 3rd-party cover until about 3 months after the launch date of a new Kobo model.

Jon, I guess it will be hidden or unknown.
Since you want to buy a covert.
I absolutely love that auto-correct.

Why do you think a flush screen is a bad thing?

To me, its good. I've own a Glo, and Aura HD and now an Aura. I like the 1st Aura the best, no shadows on my screen from the bezel, plus it feels better for page turns. That's just my preference though. This 4th Aura looks nice, but I think I am going to pass for now though, until my original Aura breaks.

I wonder why they named it Aura One...do they like Xbox One I wonder? Are they moving to 'One' platform as well?

I feel it should of been named Aura 4, but I don't know a thing about marketing a product.

Then we might get the Kobo Aura 360... 360 ppi, 360 degrees of rotation, 360 days of battery life between charges. So many possibilities!

Can you read this? Atlas Shrugged is about half that size.
Yes the mmpb is terrible, I've tried to read it too. The trade paperback is fine. They should have done what To Green Angel Tower did and just split the mmpb into two volumes and kept the font at a reasonable size.

No that's wrong. They are releasing two ereaders, an 8 inch and a 6 inch. So one is named edition one and the other edition two. That is all.

The thing that's good is with a Kobo, we can adjust the book & margins on the device to how we like. I do this and it works well for me. I know others might like wider margins and wider line height. But that's OK. But you can get it your way, not the way someone else said it has to be.
I actually like really ultra wide margins and negative space. I change it up all the time, depending on the book. For example, if im reading something particularly boring, a pretty screen with wider margins makes it easier to read, personally! And wider margins (coupled with a modern font) also gives older books a bitter of a modern edge.

I love flush screens but I am concerned about Kobo getting this one right - the original Aura was kind of a mess to me - it had visible scratches on every model and also had this ugly criss cross pattern all over the page - hoping they sort that out... the Voyage was a wonderful attempt.

I love the One! Its cool, its monumental, it demands respect, it is the original, the first One, it has connotations of divinity and the ancient past... its a sign of the times... im remembering back in the day when it all used to be about 2000!

Next up it should be Zero! and the smaller one should be Minus!

And yes Kobo I am available for hire and am happy to receive Kobo points as a salary!
