Engadget: Kobo finally makes its e-readers available through its own site
My mistake. Sorry about that.

So it looks like they started in the beginning of April (from the article). From their press release:

Quote:
... Kobo Inc., a global leader in eReading, today announced that its Family of eReaders is available for purchase directly at Kobo.com for customer in Canada and the United States. The world-class family of eReaders includes the award-winning Kobo Touch™, the Parent Tested, Parent Approved™ Kobo Glo and Kobo Mini E Ink eReaders, and Kobo Arc 7" Google-certified Android tablet. Kobo eReader accessories will also be available for sale online. ...
For a "global leader" not to have an online tracking seems pretty deficient.
