Kobo's iOS and Android apps will be available today (ish), with the Kobo Touch coming in August. Retail will be 149 euros.

Strange.
I've been buying German eBooks from Kobo for weeks now, first one June 17th. I've partially switched from Kindle to Kobo, as BlackBerry PlayBook for now only has a Kobo app and has become one of my favorite eBook readers.
So, buying German eBooks for 4 weeks now from Kobo, my assumption was the German bookstore is in place already.
