Presumably the Kobo front-light will be better than the Voyage light, and obviously the UI and more open FW will be superior to the increasingly horribly restrictive Kindle UI and FW. Want bold fonts? People will have to get one of these and not a Voyage. If Kobo can significantly beat the price of the Voyage, then we'll see some action in the market. Probably Amazon will be forced to lower the price of the Voyage.

Guess I won't have to wait patiently for Amazon to release Voyage in Canada.

I'm wondering if Amazon will lower the price of the Voyage soon. I'm hoping they do, and give me a credit for the difference. (I'm on the 5-payment plan, so I think that puts me in a special "window"). If they don't want to do that, I may return it....my Voyage has a pin prick. I've been ignoring it, but I do wonder if it will get bigger. I really do like the Voyage, but I feel pretty confident I will like the Glo HD better....so.... |

In GoodEreader it's whriting "Kobo Glo HD and will be retailing for around $149" it's the same as kobo aura.

Just some thoughts/observations:
The cover that Kobo is showing off with the Glo HD is really nice. I wonder if it will become available for H2O as well. Also, I prefer the name Glo instead of Aura. And furthermore, I could always use another eReader. I'm sold. |

By tomorrow you mean Tuesday the 7th? As it is already "tomorrow" here, that puts it at midnight for me (assuming I did the timezone calculation right). So, I'm probably going to wake up at about 2am and think "What was announced?" and not be able to go back to sleep. And if I get up and check, it will be an "exciting" announcement like the last one with Oprah.

Don't forget the announcement could have something to do with making Overdrive available to the Kobo devices. It would certainly be more relevant to their customers than the Oprah announcement.
It's now 12:25am EST on Tuesday morning, so 9 1/2 hours give or take and we'll find out. |

I want microSD. It is really important for me, my manga needs it.
IR of Glo was very nice too, but Carta screens don't offer it. I am afraid IR touch is dead. |

But if there is no SD slot and no IR touch then I think I would go for the H2O instead of the Glo HD when it comes time to replace my Glo. |
