I wonder if it is possible that it will have a color screen?

I guess it's possible (but not likely) that it could be a new Forma with notebook capabilities.

Kobo has done a better job of keeping their sellers in line this time.

There's a number of eInk devices with active styluses. Oynx makes a bunch, Boyue does, Sony has had a few, Supernote and there is also the Remarkable. It works extremely well really on my Oynx devices (well so long as you don't stray too far from supported apps...). The Oynx devices aren't as up there with regards to latency as an iPad Pro but it's just as good as a Surface Pro 2 or older Wacom Tablet PC from my experience.

Hello,

I have a strange issue with the italian store. If I try to browse kobo.com I get redirected to an error page which contains "Kobo-Elipsa". Could it be the name of the new ereader?

I think it might be! I did a search for “kobo elipsa” and it only returned one result (on a Swiss website) but the result looks promising but goes to an error page. This would fit if the page needs to be activated when the reader goes live.

I’m excited, even though I’ll not be buying it - just bought Libra last month and love it.

Which makes me wonder, which was the last Kobo reader released with a name that did NOT end in "a" (cue Emo Philips)

250 WPM puts you up into the auctioneer speech rate. My last test on Dragon Professional caps out around 160 WPM. Training? Voice? Who knows?

FWIW, I am constantly being told to slow down when speaking.

Definitely not for me, but I applaud Kobo's decision to take on a segment of the market in which Kindle is not (yet) a presence. I notice the video says "Harvey Norman Business", and this product does seem to be aimed beyond the leisure reading demographic.

$400 USD based off the "with everything included" to make Remarkable look bad.
