the drop in Kobo pricing could mean they are looking to get über competitive or could mean a new reader is imminent - either way it's a compelling price difference between the devices. |

Or it could be that the Kobo UK is actually better priced then it is in the US and Kobo should drop its US prices.

Maybe, although Kindle touch has been out a lot longer in the US than here, I suspect Kobo are picking their battles carefully and see the US market as dominated by BN and Amazon whereas Uk and rest of the world is more up for grabs so they are prepared to take a profit hit here in getting more established.

Just found out that the Sony reader store is finally on line in the uk, this definitely brings the T1 into the equation for me now as you can now not only get library books direct o the device, but also now buy direct to it so the Sony no longer needs a PC - more confusion!
T1 is the most expensive, but the convenience of free library books direct to the device probably offsets this *scratches head* |
