and I just got my Kobo Touch about a month ago, so it's still very early on in my "two years"..

i would speculate that the warranties would be honored by another company, like what happened with circuit city.

no need to worry. Yes, borders is closing their stores but borders does not equal kobo. Kobo is an independent company which sold their units through borders in the states. In fact the majority of kobo shares (probably over 80%) are owned by chapters indigo book stores up here in canada and they aren't folding any time soon. Kobo are the ones who hold the warranty on your unit and therefore your warranty is just fine.

Kobo will honor the warranty on their readers.

That's very good to hear--I'm sad that Borders is closing, but I'll admit that I wondered about my care plan that I'd purchased.
