nope, beside a vague indication that they have an agreement:

Hi

We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems with your device.

As per an agreement with WH Smith, the repair/replacement process of their customers is managed by them .

Please take your device to the shop where you bought it or any other WH Smith store or give them a call for further instructions.

Sincerely,
The Kobo Team
The whsmith site says that they also refund damaged items (as opposed to replace them) - I must say I am very tempted to do just that!
