Sarcasm aside, if I wanted to buy an ereader with a dictionary, I would be prepared to pay more. Seeing as the Kobo is my first ereader and I use it only for leisure reading, I'm happy enough looking up the occasional word in a hardcover or on the internet. However, now I'm rather tempted to have a second ereader as well, for all the meatier stuff I have to read...
I'd be happy to see the Kobo drop down further in price from $200 AUD to perhaps $150 AUD or lower, even with stock shortages. Enough tech-savvy people are ordering $150 USD Nooks from the USA (despite all the shipping difficulties). It's possible that the
Kogan ereader soon to be available will undercut demand for the Kobo as well, and I can't quite see the Kobo standing against the onslaught of both as ereaders become more popular locally.
