With the reply of 'Oh...' he went off to the storeroom. Returning he showed me the Kobo case (no light) for $49. I asked if they had the lighted version when he asked 'There is one? I'll take another look'. Returning he showed me the case with the light for also $49.

He was surprised that I knew all about the Kobo saying that they had no info from Kobo. Sony on the other hand had sent them details on their eReader. I ended up spending 10 min showing him on the display version things like how to change fonts, spacing, margins, reading life, stats etc...

In the end I got the Kobo for $158 and the case for $45 as a package.

Edit: I got a buyer for my Kindle3 plus lighted case.. for the same price I spent for the kobo and case.... cool.
Nice. I would have pushed for $151 as that is what they were selling them for the other week, but still not too shabby. Any chance of posting your thoughts/some pic's of the case. The one I believe it is looked a little biggish on the web - like lots of case around the Kobo.

Yeah some of the product knowledge is a little off. Found this out when I was purchasing a new TV there a few weeks back. To be fair though they were friendly enough and the price was good.

Also how you finding the jump to the Kobo from the Kindle 3?
