For those with an Aura HD, will you upgrade to the Kobo One?
As the title states really I bought my Aura HD and a sleepcover on release day in 2013, and I've been absolutely stoked with it as I upgraded from a Glo. The H2O was appealing to me too - if mine died I said I'd replace it with one.. but then I heard about the One being released...
So just curious to know how many that have an Aura HD would upgrade to the Kobo One when it's released? I'd aim this at other Kobo sizes but I'm specifically interested in those with the 6.8" devices. |

I'm seriously tempted. I too got my Aura HD when they were released in April 2013 and it's been a great device. I really have no big need to replace it, but...

I have both.
As much as I like the Aura One, I don't know that I would replace my Aura HD. I rather like it. |

Decisions, decisions It will certainly be tempting, especially if Geoff gets the patch working on it

I'll probably be upgrading my Aura HD, but will wait for some reviews posted here by real world users. I love my Aura HD, but would really like a bigger screen. I also have a Kindle Voyage, which gets a lot of use as well. I can see my Voyage being my "on the go" device because of it's size and the Aura One being my at home device.

And the "sameness" of the firmware works well for this. Once I have the device ids and the various cover image sizes (don't worry, I can get them), I will have support for the new devices. Adding support for something like Overdrive might take more time. But, I expect that will be mainly showing the books in the device list properly and matching them to the calibre library. If there is anything else new, it will depend on what it is. And it will be interesting to see if the reviewers notice anything new once they get bored playing with the light controls. As I said, support for anything new can take time. Or, it might just magically appear when the firmware is released. |

But do I really want a larger reader? I don't know. I have an 8" tablet that I enjoy reading on. The Aura ONE has all the features I want--except size. I was hoping for one just like that--in 6". I am looking forward to trying out the Overdrive integration - on my Aura HD. So, at this time, my answer is no, I am not planning to get the Aura One. My Aura HD is excellent. |
