Goodereader.com are a bunch of fools, not the first time they've messed up. Growing to really hate these guys. Less reliable than Fox News which is a truly profound distinction.

They make news up for the clicks. I can't say it isn't working. We already talked 8 pages of it.

On the US site, there's a sale for $20 off the Kobo Glo HD as a Mother's Day promo. But previous experience with their shipping makes me doubt it would arrive in time.
Maybe they'll have something new in Sept/Oct. The Aura H2O will be 2 years old by then. |

As I understand it, Mothers Day was yesterday in the US. No sign of any new Kobo hardware on their website...

There was a pre-Mother's Day deal on the Kobo Glo HD and now a free cover with an H2O purchase at Chapters. I wonder if they are clearing inventory...

The H2O update would likely happen in the Fall if it's going to happen this year. I vaguely recall general displeasure with the H2O cover when it launched, prompting a lot of third party purchases. So they may have quite a bit to clear out.

They wouldn't hold back a device launch just to clear cover inventory. Increased sales from a new device would easily compensate for those.

The only Kobo-related news I can see is that Overdrive support will be coming directly to the devices "relatively soon".

I've been waiting for it ever since Sony announced this feature in 2011. It boggled the mind that Kobo didn't follow Sony almost immediately.
