Someone else asked that question. Here was Indigo's response:

"Indigo and Kobo are separate entities, and at this time, we do not offer in-store browsing, inventory, or purchase of Kobo e-books in Chapters or Indigo book stores."

I can take my Nook into any B&N and read (and purchase) any e-book I want over WiFi, but the WiFi in most B&Ns is usually very busy. People seem to like that feature, and I'm surprised that Indigo doesn't offer something similar (at least with a USB connection to the terminals they have all over the store).
