Hardly Normal is now selling Kobo Touch (all colours) in Australia. Sticker price is AUD$149.95 but you can screw them down a bit for a cash sale. Kobo needs to up their product education. Harvey Norman only seem to be stocking Kobo and iRiver readers and don't know a thing about either of them or ereaders in general. None of the salemen, the manager or the techie knew a thing. I asked about battery life. Looked all over the box and at the flimsy in the box. No info. So I sent the salesman off to look at the Kobo site and there was nothing they could quickly find on there either. One has to wonder if Kobo really want to sell these things?

My biggest bugbear is that they don't have a shopping cart on their book site. If I want to buy six books, I have to buy each one individually. They have to bear the cost of six individual credit card charges and I, the cost of six individual international exchange rate charges instead of just one. Then of course there is the aggravation of having to fill out six individual order forms and go to PayPal forms six times. It's unbelievable! Can you show me any other online vendor of any product at all, that doesn't have a shopping cart installed?
