Kindles on the other hand are advertised a lot harder and in stock compred to Kobo devices.
Which shops? I've seen all the Kobo e-ink devices in any JB HiFi I have been in. And they have at least one of the Android based devices, but I can't think of which. OfficeWorks always had the Touch and the Glo. They used to have the Mini but I don't think they had the later devices. I don't think I've been in a Harvey Norman since the Aura was released, but they did have all the older devices when I was there.

Online, both Bookworld and A&R seem to list all the devices, both e-ink and Android.
