Which is why Kindles and Nooks left Kobo in the dust among general buyers: until last summer you could get both at any Best Buy, Radio Shack, Office Max, Staples, etc. That's something like 20-30,000 outlets.
Even if each outlet only sold one per *month* that would be over a quarter million units, which is probably more than Kobo sells in the US.
Add in showrooming and Nook had their bases covered, availability-wise.
General buyers know what Nooks are; they just chose not to buy.
