All of which are very true and valid points. Except that Sameer indicated that wasn't the case here but Nate thinks he very carefully chose his words to avoid absolutely, unequivocally saying this isn't the case. I am quite aware that companies are good at doing that, but in this case it really doesn't feel like that's the case to me.
A company spokesman is going to say what the company tells them, so I really don't care what they say on this forum. Quite frankly, I think they should spend more time in the bad customer service thread over in the Kobo sub-forum than responding to rumors.

To be quite honest, this rumor turning out to be true wouldn't shock me at all. B&N has been on the skids for a while now, and releasing a new ereader at this time of year is a somewhat odd decision on Kobo's part.
