You can only get away with not paying sales tax when you order from certain stores online. If the internet store has a brick and mortar store in your state it has to charge sales tax.

I am sure that Amazon knew what it was doing with it's release date. BN is in a tough spot right now. It has to find a way to match the price of a well established competitor that has a larger overall media empire and a pre-built cloud based system to tap into. Not only will BN have to find a way to bring the price down but it will have to find a way to increase its media outlets and its advertising.

Online is very different then in physical stores. Kindles seem to have taken off in the international markets where you can walk into a brick and mortar store and buy one or play with one. The Kobo is going to need to find a new brick and mortar store in Australia to sell it.

The Touch also has a few software features that the K3 doesn't have like the Xray feature.
The Kindle forum has a thread where someone took the K4 NT apart already so if you interested see that for more hardware. info. |
(giggles at the idea of buttons being obsolete)
