The entire line of Kobo readers are available online from Best Buy. It'd be nice if they were in-store as well, but at least it's something.

I'd much prefer purchasing from an indie bookseller, but after multiple visits to several Kobo retailers in the area, none were capable of understanding the difference between the Aura HD and the Aura 6". I even emailed them links to the promotional material and ordering info at the ABA website. Utter fail. I don't know who to fault either; Kobo for the apparently confounding naming scheme, or the staff at the bookstores for not being able to read.

Now, Kobo just needs to bring back gift cards!

Edited to add: Looks like the Touch and Mini are no longer available at Best Buy, but the other devices are.
