I was killing time and stopped by the south Arlington (Texas) Best Buy today, 21 July 2011, the one near I-20 and Cooper Street. Still no Kobo Touches, or WiFi either. This is not the store I usually go to, so I had to hunt a long time just to find where they had hidden the ereaders! They actually had a decent ereader display, especially compared to the BB I go to in Mansfield.

I wonder if Borders had an exclusive sales deal for a set amount of time? I know that B&N started selling the NookColor quite a while before other stores carried them, so perhaps Borders had a similar deal, although that should soon be void I would think.
