When i click on the "Retailers" link, I am taken to a "Coming Soon" blue circle.
It's pathetic that they are making such a splash (pun intended) with this new device, yet they can't find a way to not screw up the pre-order process. I realize it's a holiday here, but does that mean they can't accept pre-orders automatically via a web-ordering system? Sometimes I wonder how this company manages to stay in business....

Hmmm.... 7:30AM here on Sept 1st and when I go to the
http://www.kobo.com/devices/kobo-aurah2o.html, it says pre-order now. Clicking on the pre-order now button takes me to the checkout with an Aura H2O in the cart. See attached image.
Oddly, the link you posted says preorders will be available Sept. 2nd. Perhaps the original Sept. 1st date being a stat holiday? Also see attached image. BTW, as mentioned in a previous message, Chapters/Indigo were accepting pre-orders on or before August 27th.
The Aura H2O will not be available at retailers until Sept. 29th at the earliest so there won't be a list of retailers with availability.
message edited about 1 minute after posting when I received a PM suggesting that I could not have seen what I saw on the Kobo site.
