It really is hard to believe that there isn't someone, somewhere in the company that can take a damn order over the phone, or heck, even by fax. They do have a corporate sales extension, and I'm pretty sure they'd be negotiating bulk purchases, and probably paying for them, over the phone.
You can try finding an Aura from a non-local bookstore from the list one of the previous posters provided for me. It's crazy that a company can just shrug it's shoulders at potential orders.
EDIT: Greenlight Bookstore has the Kobo Aura:

They do offer free shipping (if you're in the US, that is).
