Fixed release schedules can also cannibalize sales from existing devices since people are left speculating about what's going to be released a couple of months down the road. (Take a look at the thread on Sony readers for one such example.) So maybe Kobo did things right by popping the news a week ahead and at a random time of year. Only time will tell.
