Hi all,
I just picked up a Kobo Glo today at the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza.

They have a (modest) Kobo display in the front of the store, and both the Glo and the Mini are in stock (though none of this is yet mentioned on the store's website). Oddly, they didn't have me sign up for any special sort of account that I could use to give the store a cut of any ebooks I purchase from Kobo -- I thought that was the whole point of the ABA program, but oh well.

I also recently spoke on the phone with The Open Door Bookstore in nearby Schenectady; they confirmed that they'd have the new Kobos for sale in-store "before Thanksgiving". Citizens of upstate New York, rejoice!
