Will I still be able to get technical support for the Kobo eReader or other device I purchased from Borders?
Yes. Borders will continue to offer phone and email customer service for devices purchased at their stores and Borders.com.

Possibly a Borders store might still stay open near you too.

If you're looking to buy ebooks, just buy direct from KoboBooks, or any other place that sells EPUBs. (There's quite a few.) Borders USA is only Kobo's American partner; Kobo itself is fine.
