They have not -- and I pointed it out to one of the developers at the launch party.

I know the H20 just came out, but I am hoping and PRAYING that Kobo beats Amazon to the punch with a Color e-Reader. I love the FUD that is coming out of the Amazon circles about the Color Paperwhite (or whatever its called) and that there's "smirking" coming out of Amazon at Kobo updates. C'mon Kobo, the H20 is out, throw all your R&D team on this, make it happen! Innovate! Innovate! Innovate! (I'm a Doctoral Candidate in Information Systems with a technical background. If you need a Steve Jobs like character...well... I'm just saying )

Which developer? Probably a manager as they are unlikely to let the actual coders out of their cages. And yes, I am quite happy in mine.

Case is slightly smaller and thinner than on the Aura HD, but the texture of the bezel and back is pretty much the same, as is the shape of the back. The H2O will come only in black (no espresso, no white), although it's really a very deep charcoal, not a solid black.

Is it still that same shiny plastic which got slippery once skin oils or water gets on it? I do like the regular Aura's texturing - it makes it much less slippery than the Aura HD, which at times felt like trying to hold a wet soap bar.

Bottom looks like a PW1. Don't forget, it looks much worse in person that a photo or a Youtube video (due to compression).
Hm? It looks great there. The biggest issue with the PW1 display was the green and pink splotches.

I admit it. I have no control. Chapters/Indigo are now doing pre-orders for the Aura H2O and I happened to have some gift cards so I spent them on it.

Perhaps a 12 step program for ereader owners?

No you really only need a 4 step program.

Step One: Deposit money!

Step Two: Place order for newest Kobo!

Step Three: open order and use for 12 months.

Step Four: Repeat steps One through Three at the end of 12 months!


See four steps! really simple

regards

Jack

I don't even think it's much of an upgrade. You must have it (the addiction) pretty bad to want to upgrade.

It may not be much of an upgrade if you already have a Aura HD but if you don't (like me) it's better than the original Aura HD.

I think that remains to be seen. I'll hold off passing judgments until I see them side by side (in reviews).

I like the idea of dust proof, very much.

The HD screen of the Aura HD is SO incredibly nice. I really want the new one so that I'll have 2 of the 6.8" screens (It can be called a backup ). Since I have 2 Minis and 2 Glos it just makes sense (in my strange, twisted mind) to have two Aura HDs.
