As for new models, I'm glad there are none I'd want. Next year, that would be fine by me.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that.

There's only been one Aura ONE which, at 7.8", is quite a bit different than the other Auras. I, personally don't think an Aura ONE 2 is ever coming out (having been replaced by the Forma) but there seems to be a fairly large contingent of Aura ONE users who don't like the Forma — so I guess it's possible.

I guess it's COVID. There have been no new Kindles either this year.
They released the Nia during the pandemic, did they not?

it seems that there are people in the marketing department who do nothing but think about the name to give to ereaders, maybe they think too much about it.

ps: I like the Aura One and I would be interested in a more modern model like it, but, please, do not name it "Aura One Two"

And I would like a 10.3 screen by Kobo

I've been incredibly satisfied with my Forma, especially with KOReader, since launch. That said, give me a new Forma with smaller bezels or a bigger display, and I won't be thinking twice. Oh, and without the infamous Forma color discoloration.

You're giving Kobo a bit too much credit. The Nia is no more than a re-badged Tolino Page 2 which came out last year.
It's still a new Kobo. I am very well aware of the relationship between Kobo and Tolino generally, and indeed between the Nia and Tolino Page 2 specifically - thanks to MR you are not telling me anything I did not already know even before the Nia was released. The OP said that Kobo had not released a new device this year, but they did.

Nah, there's generally two revisions each year... And since there's been two years after the Forma release, I was hoping for an Aura One Two (!!) This fall.
An Aura One Two? Wouldn't that be a confusing name? I, too, have an Aura One, but having two with similar names, such as an Aura One Two and an Aura One would be too confusing. But that's just one person's opinion. Something like an Aura Two One is a much snappier title! Don't ya think?

I like this for a name for the next plastic backed 8" Kobo...

I'm well satisfied with my Libra and my last-year Kindle Oasis, so I'm not going to shed any tears over no more new gadgets this year. It's actually a relief, because I couldn't afford a new one right now anyway.

I'd like it too, because it'd mean my wallet would stay happily closed.

I was/am happy with my Aura H2O2, but being able to get the Libra for slightly less than a Clara thanks to accumulated store credit was too good a deal to pass up - and I'm loving the page buttons, helping reduce the number of times my grubby fingers have to touch the screen.
