If the re-seller is willing to take a dive on a product I'm all for it. Take it but make sure that you have some sort of procedure if something is wrong with the Kobo when it arrives. Also make sure that you do what my pals in the IT industry call exceptance testing: take the first year that you have the Kobo and try to make it fail by 1) leaving it on all night; 2) use every menu option; 3) upload books and remove boosk from the Kobo; 4) Do everything that you can think of in the first year to make the Kobo fail. If it passes then you have a great product and if it fails make use of the warranty that typically extends to one year only.
