Black Kobo - Page 2

JexMcByte · 07-22-2010, 03:33 PM

clintbradford: Got the answer from kobo corporate. They directed me to Borders even I`ve stating that I`ve contacted them beforehand.

Back to square one.

So far, Borders is not and has no plans about selling the black Kobo.
Borders Australia: No answer but based on site info will not ship to me.
Angus & Robertson: No answer.
Indigo: No answer.

I`ve resent the request.

Any other suggestion ?

Buy a GelaSkin if you really need to alter the appearance of your Kobo. I just put Van Gogh's "Starry Night" on my white Kobo, and I truly like the "personality change" to the unit. I just installed the front piece, and the quality of the product is excellent (real 3M transfer page, excellent dyes, vibrant colors).

Make friends with a Canadian and have them mail one to you

I'd offer, but my local store is out of the black ones for a while.

Been there done that.

A friend said he could buy and send. I asked to check shiping cost. Havent heard from him since...

I have a GelaSkin on my Kobo's front frame ... I chose Van Gogh's "Starry Night." I am pleased at the new "personality" of my Kobo. Instead of waiting for a black one, you might want to consider a GelaSkin!

Long live Kobo.
