I hear your complaint and agree. Sony readers are even harder to find in the USA at retail centers, and even the Sony web store is often out of stock. So at least KTs seem to be available via online ordering.

If you ask me, it was darn stupid of Kobo to partner with Borders on the release of the KT given that they should have known that Borders was breathing its last breath! I assume Borders had an exclusive right to market in physical stores for a certain period of time and thus why we cannot find KTs at other brick and mortars.

I like the Sony readers and the KT, but I'm starting to get really miffed that both companies treat the USA customers like the bastard children no one wants.
