So I wanted to ask my American friends here how is the Kobo Touch being received in the U.S. Here in Canada, people are in love, but then again they don't have many options. Nook won't sell up here, though I have seen a few illicit ones, Kindles exist but they have to be bought online and shipped in (though I think that might be changing since I saw an ad in a staples flier today for one) so Kobo dominates the market a little more. Especially since they have the largest bookseller in Canada in their pocket since that bookseller is their majority share holder. But down south you guys have all kinds of options and so I'm wondering how is the KT faring against those who can actually have a Nook or can walk into a store and buy a Kindle?
