Kobo Touch e-Reader, $67 delivered. I think the $17 extra over the mini from JB is well worth it!

Is this guy serious??
Totes!
Best full-size reading tablet: Apple iPad (fourth-gen) (starts at $499). If you want a full-size, full-featured tablet that can double as an e-book reader, the iPad platform remains the best, no-compromise choice. It offers free Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and Google Play reading apps, with full access to the content in those e-book stores. (Additionally, the iPad offers Apple's own iBooks application, though those e-books can't be accessed on any non-iOS device.) And the iPad's Good Reader app remains the best way to read, edit, and annotate PDF files that we've seen to date. To be fair, Android tablets also double as good e-book readers, with those same three major e-book apps available — and, as we mentioned above, the smaller Android tablets (including Amazon and B&N) are better deals at lower price points. But if you're spending $399 to $499 and want a large (9.7-inch) screen, we'd still rather have an iPad.
The $399 iPad 2 remains a great tablet that beats much of the Android competition, and it's a few ounces lighter than the third-gen iPad.

Kobo are releasing a 6.8" e-ink one called the Kobo Aura HD.
That's the one I'm after. I have a touch and it is great, but the Aura looks the shiznit.
Noon here, I'm looking into buying my first eBook reader.Which is better this or paperwhite from amazon?
It depends what you want, but I found the Kobo Glo best for my purposes.
I will use it mainly for textbooks and novel but I wont be buying any kindle format books.
How much kobo Glo?$138 from HT (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/90888) or pricematched at any good store.
I mainly used epubs on tablets before getting a e reader so I got a Sony reader.
I love my kindle paperwite. If you hunt around you can get it from approx. $100 or $105 in the US. Yes it is a little picky on format, but Calibre will reformat for you for free. Don't know anything about the Kobo though, so if build is as good it might be worth the savings.
Sold out
Was advertised in the HERALD SUN in Melbourne today for $49.00 each brand new at JB Hi Fi.
I think that would be the Kobo Mini, rather than the Touch - http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/e-book-read… ($49 at time of posting)
is there any good 9.7" ereader? Kindle DXG is too expensive and no longer available?
