The Kobo Mini is absolutely being phased out; I've heard this directly from multiple members of the Kobo staff. They're gone from Canadian retailers, and no more are being manufactured.
(I love the Mini, even though it lacks backlight and Micro SD slot. Just picked up a second one at a Staples store in Winnipeg -- but it was an open-box they'd had since April; none of the Staples, Chapters/Indigo, or Future Shop stores I've checked in person in Toronto, Winnipeg, or Ottawa have stock anymore; Staples.ca; Indigo.ca Futureshop.com; Kobo.com (the Canadian version) -- out of stock at all of them.)
