Availability in Europe?

Hi. I would really like to buy a Glo but retailers in Austria say it will take 3 weeks till they receive new devices. Now I am pretty pissed because that date changes almost every day.
Is there any other online shop in Europe that has the Glo available AND will ship to Austria? Or are there any secret release dates for the rest of the world?

tia,
Jörg

I'm afraid you have to be patient.

I have been trying to get hold of one myself for quite a while now, but..

The dutch web-shops I have found that send internationally keep saying 3 weeks, and have done so for weeks.

Technikdirect.de keeps saying coming soon, and have done so for weeks as well.

Redcoon which have affiliates all over europe, began to count down the days until it would be in stock, but when they reach 1 day, they changed it back to 2 weeks.

Various danish web-shops that I normally use are varying between last week of october or first week of november.

Hi,

The Kobo Glo is available in Fnac, they are the official retailler here in France.

And as far as i know, they do ship to international. They say a 2-4 days delay for a local pick up but they also offer an express shipping in 24h hours, I do assume they got it in stock.

http://www.fnac.com/Liseuse-numeriqu...r/a4748412/w-4

129euros excluding shipping fee

(If you see 123euros, it's a special offer for their members)


The only difference with the regular Kobo is the affiliate.conf file which content "fnac" (just replace it with "kobo" and you got a normal one.

They do ship throughout Europe but not to Russia...
Chart with details (countries & shipping rates) here: look for the "produits techniques" listing halfway down
