I have been looking forward to an FCC announcement toward the middle/end of April. Kobo released the Touch last year at the BookExpo America in New York. This year's expo will take place June 4-7. Last year the FCC filing happened six weeks before the Touch was released.

My sense was that the Nook announcement might have come a bit early in an attempt to lessen the effect of the DOJ inquiry involving publishers and Apple. B&N stock took a big hit anyway Thursday and Friday.

I don't expect any leaks from Kobo. And this is all pure speculation on my part.
