Were you there? How did you find Tamblyn?
The promises were true, and there was indeed a Kobo reader at Tech Forum. It's not bad, the d-pad is a d-pad and the reader was very responsive, impressively so. The reader I used was a prototype, it had a glossy finish but they're saying matte when it launches. Page turns were also fast, as fast as a kindle at least, and they've got 6 weeks of updates before it launches.
I also found out that presale begins March 30, for Canada at least.
The quilted back was actually nice. I didn't think it would make a difference, but it was better than straight plastic.
Over all, nice little reader.
