That single paragraph has damaged your argument.
Calling Kobo owners who are basically happy with their device short sighted or company stooges is not the best way to further your argument.
When I purchased my Kobo here in Australia the Kindle 2 was priced at over $250 delivered. Alternatives sat at around $500.
Overseas purchase was the only other alternative. So for many at that time the Kobo, sold and supported locally and at at a highly competitive price was the best choice. Six months later that position has changed a little but not a lot. The K3 is being sold at a very cheap price, which comes in at about the same price as the now cheaper Kobo and Sony is back in Australia for those wanting to pay more.
