I live in Cleveland, Ohio and I have been thinking of buying a Kobo Touch for months, but kept putting it off because of Kobo's poor customer service (I experienced it first hand via email) and indecision concerning two of the competing e-readers. I finally decided it would be best to buy a Nook Glow-light and went to Target today to see one first hand. They didn't have one on the demo table so I began walking away to go to Best Buy when I stopped at an end cap and noticed Target had placed two Amazon Kindles (keyboard and touch) on clearance along with the Kobo Touch. Kobo's new price? $49.98.
I asked a store employee about the price and she said it had just been marked down from the red tag price of $99.00. She said Target was no longer going to stock the Kobo Touch.
$49.98 vs $138.00 for my first e-reader.
I am now the proud owner of a Kobo Touch. Customer service be damned.
