Stoney, I sent you a PM with the direct link. The page still shows "in stock" maybe they were temporarily out when you looked earlier? Mine shipped the day after I ordered it. Good luck!

Just received my Aura today. Apparently Kobo refused to ship it to the Oregon warehouse of the package forwarding company I was using (shipito.com) - as a policy, but had no problem shipping it to the California warehouse of that same package forwarding company. Go figure. So I got to contribute $12 to the state of California in sales tax but at least I now have the device.
The Aura has an amazing screen btw, the lighting quality and coverage is fantastic. |

So when did you end up ordering it? What was total time to delivery? I ordered mine last Thursday and it shipped this Tuesday. We are having massive wildfires so now mail service will be screwed up for a while, but I hope I get it soon.

Prepper: Thanks for the info on the cover. My Aura is Espresso so I'm going to wait until I can find a matching cover.
By the way, I've had my Aura since May 13 and have had to charge it just once. It holds a charge better than any other ereader I've seen. |

No Espresso's available on the Kobo site...I bet that was the most popular color!
