The quote I referenced came from here:
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...168728666.html Since they are only available for shipping in October a few days delay is hardly a major issue? The intention and the arrangements with these retailers are obviously already made... |

No Preorder in the USA either. bestbuy.com lists them, but only says coming soon

And Indigo won't ship them to the US.
Not exactly an Amazon-like high-velocity rollout so far... Last edited by EldRick; 09-09-2012 at 09:59 PM. |

It must have worked as someone posted on Whirlpool with a link to the pre-order page. See http://www.collinsbooksblog.com.au/kobo-pre-order/. I haven't seen a price yet.

From what I've read, it should be releasing with an RRP of AUD 159.99, so about $17 above the US price plus GST. Not too bad considering how badly marked up some other electronics are when they hit Australia. IIRC, it was The Age and CNET Australia where I saw that price.

In France, the preorder is possible at FNAC (either from their website or from their physical stores) but the available date is on octobre 15th. I bought a touch in the end of novembre last year, but I think I'll buy this one and give my touch to my son.
