Technically closer to 2 months (Jul 19). Cry me a river.
Edit: To elaborate, the Touch itself is 1.3 years old, in an industry typified by annual refreshes. With B&N's release, and Amazon's widely-expected release, Kobo was coming due for its own refresh.
Even then, the Touch is still holding a spot in their new product lineup between the Glo and Mini (price- and feature-wise), and continues getting firmware updates. Should still have resale value if you really want the glowlight+XGA.
