People are still selling USB-B and mini-USB cables. There will still be micro USB cables in 10 years.
You can also still buy GPIB, 9 way and 25 way RS232 and Apple Talk cables. Though I've not seen any Token Ring cables for 20+ years. |

I am hoping that Kobo will not go for a soldered eMMC storage device on all their devices. The Sage and Elipsa benefit from the faster storage and the eMMC devices do have a longer write lifespan.

I hit an auction a couple of weeks back and a friend and I purchased a box of computer stuff from a firm that went out business. Along with the hard drive caddies he wanted, there was a coiled up 100' chunk of thicknet cable along with a couple of beesting tap/converters. The rest of the box was filled with a weird collection of cables and adapters.

There are specialist shops that still sell some Token ring cables. For example: https://www.betterbox.co.uk/products...and-token-ring

Kobobooks Instagram has greyed out its icon, recent posts, and changed it's description to "Feeling too grey lately <3"
Looks like those colour e-readers are incoming. |

I sure hope they keep the regular models in production. I have zero interest in an ugly, dark Kaleido 3 Kobo screen with terrible contrast.

The oasis 1 is the voyage 2, 6″ but with buttons. It's the O2 and O3 that are 7″
Or the PW3 is the voyage 2, same size and resolution but much cheaper. Both of those came after the voyage. I'm thinking the top surface of the voyage screen was too expensive. |
