Judging by the latest tweets from Kobo it seems like they're ready to announce their new device any minute now.

I'm not the one to ask, you'd be better off asking over in the Kobo forums in one of the threads dedicated to the alternative dictionaries.

Huh, I wonder what is the point of this device. The only differences versus the Glo HD is that it has a lower resolution display and that it's 10$ cheaper. Doesn't even get the Natural Light feature.

Well I, for one, like what I see and at CDN$249, I will definitely "pre-orders" mine on 30 August. It will make a nice companion to my Aura H2O.

I just read a very favorable review of the new Kobo Aura One at the Verge.

And they mention reading books from public libraries. I wonder if this means the much awaited device to library interaction ?

Overdrive was specifically mentioned in the Verge review and in at least one other review (maybe techcrunch).

The review was pulled. It has since been restored. My guess is a time zone error on the embargo time.
