Hello everyone. This is my first post in this forum. I live in Brasil and my father is going to be in United States next week and I´ve decided to ask him to bring me an ereader. I have two possibilities in my mind: Kobo Touch or Nook Touch.

I made my decision after reading a lot of posts in here, because Nook has a lot of restrictions outside US and because of the new improvements that Kobo is releasing with news firmwares. But i have some question and wanna see you can help me with.

a) I read that it is not so easy to find Kobo available on the stores? I can but it only in Borders and Best Buy?
B) I have the Kobo app in my Ipod Touch but i have a lot of problems with sideload books on it. I have some PDF books that were converted to EPUB and works perfectly in iBooks and Stanza, but they do not open in Kobo. The cover is blank and when a turn the page it already appers like i have finished the book. Does anyone have the same problem? Does The Kobo Touch have total compatibility with calibre converted books?
C) The warranty is worldwide or only US?

Sorry for the text being so long, and also by my gramatical errors. My english is very good to reading and listening but my writing is not so good. Sorry about that really. And thanks for you help. Hope to have my Kobo Touch in August, 10th.
