The Aura 2 is the entry level Kobo.

Not that I'd mind a lighted Mini Edition 2...

That's Kobos "entry level." But it would be Kindle's mid-level (minus 300 dpi).

As one reader commented on the article, hopefully the law will apply retroactively and have international reach... all the way to Vancouver.

That's weird. I haven't even seen Swedish e-books in the wild, even classics like LotR. It seems an overkill.

I would hope not. The problem is that with these sorts of laws, all it takes is one eBook that you bought but have no way to prove you did and you are in trouble. I know I cannot prove that I bought all the eBooks that I have bought. I've bought eBooks at stores that are out of business and I do not have the receipts. Also, if you share eBooks with family, you could get in trouble as technically it could be taken as illegal.

So let's not have such laws outside of Sweden.

An updated super slim & sleek Sony 350 with the latest screen & light tech etc would do me. The Kobo Mini in it's case feels so bulky and awkward compared to the 350.

I have the 2 models of the Sony 5" reader and the Kobo Mini. Love to have a Kobo Mini 2 with illuminated screen and the Sony style 5 switches from the PRS-350.

The goodereader article is written so as to imply that downloading a single ebook could land you six years. It's actually "gross copyright infringement" that carries that maximum under the proposal - so w're talking large-scale distribution.

Somehow, a headline like "Wholesale distribution of pirated ebooks can result in 6 years in prison" just doesn't have the same clickbait appeal.

The only time BadERreader have been correct is sometimes when they steal the story (when they steal a story that's actually true).

You have no chance of a new 350 type Reader from Sony.

I think if Kobo was to make a new 5" Reader, it might be like the H2O2 in a small size. But to be honest, I don't see that happening.
