I have had this niggling feeling in the back of my mind that Kobo has slowly been losing direction. I can only talk about being here in Australia, but given the number of retail partners I still havent seen a Vox, Arc, Aura or Aura HD for sale in any store, and online some of their partners don't even show the Aura or Arc for sale. Kindles on the other hand are advertised a lot harder and in stock compred to Kobo devices.
No good when people lose their jobs but a 15+% reduction in staff.....is this a restructure or the early stages of writing on the wall?
