I think that Borders' has had it, unfortunately... I remember way back when they were the ONLY bookstore that had a WIDE selection of titles and all the rest were little broomcloset mall shops for the most part carrying only brand new/bestsellers and maybe a couple small shelves of slightly older titles.
The woman at the store told me that they only had the black? onyx? one in stock which was fine as that's the color I wanted. (You don't want a bright bezel if you're using it in sunlight as even my Silver PRS-505 is annoying and worse with that stupid chrome plastic crap that Sony INSISTS on slapping on everything... bugged the crap out of me with the Clies... half blinding myself all of the time...)
I get the feeling that they'll not be getting any more stock for a while, if ever so I was get 'em while they got 'em mode v. waiting for the firesale(good time to get some bookcases...
)...
I noted that my box had a bunch of Borders branding on it too, so I'm guessing that in other stores and direct from Kobo that they have different packaging although the branding part was just a slip on outer shell...
