That is globally and Kobo is small in the US but the context is clear; *if* those numbers are true, there is a lot less to Nook than B&N has been pretending. |
Depends on what they consider "active" and "registered."
I have a B&N account but never purchased anything. Is my account active?
A whole family can use the same B&N account. There is no device limit. Active account numbers doesn't give us ebook reader numbers.
Same goes for Kobo. Would they call my account active, registered or dormant? BTW, I have several (well, more than several
) accounts at Kobo. One for each country. Many accounts but no Kobo registered. I doubt Kobo sold 12 million devices.
