Any new Kobo's coming out this year?

It's been a while since Kobo had released anything new in the 8 inch and 10.3 inch Ereader universe. Any rumors floating around.

I'd love to see an updated Elipsa with 300DPI or better yet something a little smaller - maybe 9 inches or so

Kobo really needs to make a new 7" Libra BW. That's the one most people want. An 8" Libra 8 BW would also be good. An updated Elipsa with a good battery is also good. All of these have to be BW and no color.

I don't recall seeing any rumors on MR.

Jon, I think you hit "Submit Reply" too early? I don't see a reply to the OP's question.

Agreed. I don't need color. I don't want color at the expense of clarity, etc. My eyesight sucks so I already use more intense/bolder fonts than the ones built in to the kindle. So although some people say the color screen isn't that bad...I don't need anything that will decrease the text clarity.

So since I won't be buying a new kindle, I'd love the return of the BW Libra as it has the buttons and similar form factor to the Oasis. Which is still my favorite reader. (I'm mostly using a PW5 at the moment as my mother likes the Oasis too. She likes the buttons too and she is a lefty so she loves the auto rotate of the screen, etc.)
