It would be interesting to know what the profit margins are on these devices. One business tactic is to have a low cost, low margin device in order to maintain market share while placing a key feature into a higher cost, higher margin device that you expect consumers to buy. After all, the last thing Kobo wants to do is lose customers to Amazon's low cost Kindle since it is harder to pull those customers in once they have bought ebooks from Amazon.
