We knew it was coming and Kobo has just announced that their Touch eReader will be launching in Japan on July 19. Apparently you can preorder it now for ¥7,980 including tax, which is $100 USD.

More details can be found on Kobo's Japanese site here. I wonder if the fact that it's being launched by a Japanese company will give Kobo an edge in that market.
