With the cheap price I decided to just get one anyway (and kobo themselves may to come to the party should anything go wrong).

My new kobo touch arrived last Thursday, I love it. If you check out the kobo forum you will see that there are lots of Aussies and Kiwis with new kobo touches, or waiting for them to arrive. Given the state of your dollar at the moment it would be hard to find a better deal.
So it looks like Kobo are now selling direct to Australia and NZ - which they wouldn't when Borders were open. This certainly sounds much better than buying some unknown item through EBay. I am always impressed by the good service from USA & Canadian retailers and have been buying musical stuff from them since before the internet (used to communicate via fax!).
