The only thing that prevents me from buying electronics in the US vs. my native Canada, is the warranties. Check to make sure that you do not have to bring the Kobo back to a Borders store if there's a technical problem with it (see if you can exchange at a Chapters). There have been a fair number of Kobos with problems - more than the average electronic, IMO. I would personally pay the extra $50 to avoid potential exchange/warranty headaches.
Typically, I need to save over $100 to buy an electronic across the line vs. Canada. I will however, gladly cross the border to save $20 on a tank of gas!
