It was not even a dummy model to be honest, in my opinion it was even more ridiculous than that. The H2O was up and running, but not configured so I could not see more than the "choose your wifi" page, and apparently it was not possible for them to configure it. I was really disappointed, I wanted to see the kobo firmware, the books, the backlight (my precedent reader was a bebook mini), the whole thing... The only good that visit did was that seeing the size of the device made me realize it's not as "giant" as some reviews let me believe.

edit : So a better word in my previous post had been non-configured device instead of non-working. My apologies for not being clearer.
Eh, I am almost your neighbour, I do understand the language problems I'm from The Netherlands.
So they show models,without even try to bother to pass it behind the factory reset.. like the tv example I said, you want to see it on..you want to play with the settings.
Like turning on a pc to see "insert your windows dvd for first installation" message on your screen.
The bebook mini.. I still have one with a stuck screen.
So no, you didn't say anything wrong, just make me smile that you did the trip to see it and just stumble into a non working device... And no one offered you to finish the installation ??? That is so wrong !
Sorry for my twisted humor.. I know this same would happen to me when I would go to something like that... I had.. I wanted once to see a beautiful audio machine with blu-ray player.
The whole scene was installed, great screen.. but the guy has inserted the blu-ray disc the other way around and the device does't want to eject it
