Kobo has a new e-Reader in the works and have submitted an application to the FCC to gain approval for a North American release. This new six inch device will borrow heavy elements from the Aura HD, using the same type of HD e-Ink display. It also will maintain the same type of front-light technology, that will allow you to read in the dark and control the luminosity settings. The newly crafted Kobo e-Reader will poised to be announced sometime next month and likely will be released before Sony and Amazon new models. The FCC filing is light on the details, due to the quintessential privacy embargo. What we do know, is that the back of the device is the exact same as the Aura HD. Kobo is forgoing their old design and maintaining the cascading book page template that the entire team raved about at Book Expo America. It will also have a Micro SD card, Micro USB and a switch at the top to initiate the glowlight. More details should emerge rather quickly, in the meantime, here are some pictures that were posted to an e-Ink employees Facebook account before they were deleted.
