From a reliable source:
It is delayed until next year.
They are fine tuning the force field so you can use touch screen page turns.

is that the one that is said to protect the screen from the cookie crumbs? Or is it the advanced version that protects against the rain drops? I'm waiting for the first one, I eat more cookies than I get rain storms, so I wont be needing the advanced option.

I got a Phantom Glass screen protector for my Glo.

Now I can't change pages. Really annoying.

Tempered Glass Screen Protector

About six weeks ago I finally gave in and bought a Galaxy Note 2 cellphone outright to replace my old Inspire 4G which had developed a power switch issue.(next project to get a new switch assembly and fix it.) After being suckered into buying a Zagg screen protector at a local Rat Shack which looked GREAT... until I used the stylus a couple of times(UGH!), I bought a tempered glass screen protector. Under $6-7 online and no more stylus divots! The capacitive touch screen seems to be unaffected and the Wacom digitizer for the stylus works perfectly with it. It doesn't cover the front of the phone quite perfectly to the edges, but it covers about 98% of the front of the phone and well past the actual LCD screen area.

If they make a tempered glass protector that covers the whole screen it should be nice on an Aura, possibly good to have on other models with IR as long as it sits below the level where the beams traverse the screen. The one I have on the phone is pretty thin, so I can see where it might work well even on the IR models.

PS. I hear the force field model is taking longer since Einstein's Laws are being debated in court as only being theories... In the mean time, when not using my Glo to read, I've attached two slices of toast butter side out secured with a string which I use to pull the unit along behind me as it spins rapidly in the air trying to land on both butter side down slices of toast. I had a few minor engineering dificulties, but once I added the swivel to stop the string winding up things improved drastically!

for Technisol, our great researcher http://www.murphys-laws.com/murphy/murphy-laws.html do you really want to persist ?

I tried coupling the shaft of a generator to it, but the body of the generator spun with so much force that I'm afraid securing it to anything else might cause the universe to rotate in a manner to which it wasn't intended...

My next line of investigation will be to determine the effect of varying the level of absurdity in the epubs stored on the device in an effort to govern power output.

For this, you definitely have to use kepubs.
