Kobo on Monday introduced the Aura HD, an e-reader that sports some high-end touches such as a one-month-plus battery life. Other features that set the Aura HD device apart from other e-readers in the market include a high- resolution E Ink display and a 6.8-inch screen designed to look and feel more like a book. The Aura HD, which retails for $169.99, became available for pre-order on Tuesday on the Kobo site. Kobo Aura HD also is equipped with special technology that directs light at the page instead of in the reader’s eyes and a 1 GHz processor that Kobo claims is 20 percent faster than that of other e-readers.
Uhm.. Still waiting on color e-ink screens. Until then, the thing could last 4,000 years, and it would still just be another damned Kindle. And, no, LCD isn't an option, since the whole point of longer battery life, and, well.. better survivability under stress, and readability, is to get away from LCD, back-lights, etc,
