I'd be confident that Kobo paid to get the Sony store users and neither did it out of the goodness of their heart. Helps Sony out since they get some $ out of it, and Sony's customer list would be big enough to make it worth Kobo's time/effort to integrate it (some of the smaller stores that just closed probably wouldn't be worth doing it). Kobo has some experience with takeovers like this in Australia, so it might be less painful than might otherwise be expected (but there is no way that a transition like this will ever go perfectly).
