That's just not nice at all. They should at least advertise that the Glo is coming soon. Otherwise, they should have kept the Touch in the basement until the Glo was there to sell as well, to give people a choice.

That's like saying Amazon should stop selling Kindles overseas because they've launched the Paperwhite in the US - they won't do that. What they CAN do is put ads in the stores to advise this is the 'entry' level model, and there are two other models coming out.
Especially since FNAC has been selling Kobo Touch devices in France for quite some time now. Yes, now it's in Portugal - but they don't have to immediately stop sales just because a new device is on the horizon. What they can do is advertise the new device and price-drop the Touch, as they have in other markets.
