The original Kobo was less expensive because it was lacking features and WiFi or WiFi/3G. The price of the Kobo rose to match the Kindle when it added the WiFi option.

Maybe the Nook came down in price because of the Kobo. Kobo was the first ereader to be that cheap (as far as I know) and after it came out, Nook and Kindle lowered in price. Coincidence? Hmmm.
The Kobo did not rise in price when Wi-Fi was introduced, not in Canada anyway. It was $149 when I bought it and it's $149 now. Unfair to us early adopters, I think. We should get some kind of compensation.
Pookiesgirl, I'm sorry to hear your experience with customer service has not been good. Are you in Canada?
I see that there is now a colour Nook. I wonder if that is colour e-Ink or is colour e-Ink still in development?
