New Kobo E-reading device scheduled for release Mothers Day!
http://goodereader.com/blog/electron...or-mothers-day
Questionable source I know, I remember getting so hyped up for the Voyage 2 these guys were assuring me of, to no avail... but I do have a feeling this one's legit. And I just bought myself a new H2O! Hope this one's another large-ish one, I want to move over to the Kobos from the Kindles but my last forays with Kobo devices yielded hardware that was shockingly unpredictable in build quality, each device was totally different to the next, and had to exchange it about four times, and ended up just getting a voyage :/ but I really love epub rendering, and Kobos flexibility, and I'm sick of being walled in to Amazon's garden of crappy font choices, sizes, and that whole 'enhanced typesetting' Vs. poor rendering mess that each book is a gamble on... Cmon kobo, please don't disappoint! Take all of my money!!! |

*shrug*. Might happen, might not; it's nothing more than speculation.

If one sentence sums up that website for me, its this one:
"It is currently unknown what type of e-reader Kobo is developing, but it is an e-reader." |

Mother's day was in early March in the UK, so they've missed the boat - or do they mean next year

Spain uses the 1st Sunday of May, so it's good too.

It seems that January and September are the only months of the year there isn't a mother's day in some country or other. On that basis, they will always release a new reader for mother's day *somewhere*

There has to be more proof of the existence of new Kobo reader than just hearsay.
