Apologies if this has been covered in other threads (though I couldn't find a thread about the Kobo Glo's release date), but when I pre-ordered mine at a Coles location I was told that they'd be receiving the devices as soon as Monday, but that they're street-dated for this Friday, October 5th.

Given I'm on Vancouver Island, that's about the time a pre-order through Chapters/Indigo's website would have arrived if ground shipped (people began receiving shipping notifcations a couple of days ago), so that makes a lot of sense. Can't wait. I've been using a Kobo Vox, and occasionally the Kobo app on other devices, so this will be my first e-ink reader for personal use (I previously bought a used original non-Wifi Kobo as a gift for a co-worker who needed one with a D-pad).
