They also got a whole bunch returned when about six months after releasing the WiFi, along came the Touch. They have to be sold as refurbs, too, even if there was nothing wrong with them. I know in Canada retailers did that sort of exchange for several months after the Touch was released.
Kobo has, in the past, offloaded readers to BestBuy and Future Shop when they were getting ready to stop promoting the product themselves. We may be seeing that.
