I wish they'd get their story straight. On the Borders site it says the Kobo touch won't be available to order in the US until July 30, and this blogger emailed both Borders and Kobo, who confirmed the July 30 date:

Note the "Get one for Dad" on the Borders site, which would be a little difficult if it doesn't arrive until August...maybe they mean get Dad a Christmas present. I'm disappointed, because I was excited to see the features of the Kobo Touch, but by delaying so long, they'd be marginalized by Nook Touch hype and momentum, and the US release would be around the time a new Kindle usually appears.
