They completely removed the non-working pre-order link from the product page, now.
I can be patient...but I shall be a Chapters stalker. |

EDIT: NEVER MIND. Brain is not working. MicroUSB slot is not a MicroSD slot. Is this the first Kobo that won't have a memory card slot? Last edited by rcentros; 04-07-2015 at 11:34 AM. |

I am hoping this is not a trend for Kobo not to include MicroSD Card slot in their products.

Well, there is no need to buy a Kindle Voyage anymore… except for American review sites: they will prefer a Kindle anyway and find ways justifying it, probably by comparing apples with oranges (remember the reviews Aura H2O vs Voyage?)
The weight of the Glo HD and Voyage are both 180g. So they can't complain about that or does the Glo HD feel heavier or look chunkier? I guess the Voyage will drop in price very soon. I can't wait to read some serious reviews as I do have a few questions and/or doubts. BTW, the same doubts I had with the H2O. The 1 GHz processor. Is it still the same as in other Kobo models like the Aura, Aura H2O, Aura HD? If so, then this model will also be relatively slow when compared face-to-face with competing products and you will read this in the reviews. Note: this does not mean the device is slow or too slow. Just that it might be slower than other devices. Touch Has the responsiveness of the touch layer been improved: less latency between the actual touch and feedback (i.e. displaying a pop up screen or menu) Idem for touch screen accuracy. Quote:

US pre-orders start April 24th. Canadians can start tomorrow! (I wonder how that applies to US orders from a Canadian store?)

I was thinking of getting a voyage for my birthday(Apr. 30), but this news changes things. I was after the higher screen resolution. The price difference is a big deal to me.

Looks like all the info has been pulled. The mighty ape website in NZ is even pulled from pre-ordering and Kobo blank. Looks like H2O for me now anyway.
