Ah, the good old hypothetical!
"Everybody would buy it if only (blankety-blank-blank)", applies to a zillion products and failed kickstarters. The trick is the blankety-blank-blank, more generally called "execution".

Except that if Kobo doesn't bother to get their toys in front of buyers they don't get the chance to even think of it, much less crossshop it against products available at B&M, on a heavily-trafficed website, and occasionally on TV. AKA, Kindles and Nooks.

As I said above: you can't win if you don't play and Kobo really isn't making much of a play in the US.
