I recently bought a Kobo Aura HD from a seller on Amazon. It was new in sealed box. It has been working just fine. I don't think I would have the right to contact Kobo about warranty issues, though, since I didn't buy it from Kobo. Am I wrong? I kind of think when I buy from a third party seller such as Amazon or ebay, that I am on my own. I might try to contact Kobo if I experienced a hardware problem, but I would not hold my breath or hold on to expectations that they would do anything. The same goes with any device, with the exception of the new, sealed Fire Phone I got on ebay. Amazon is in a different class. I wouldn't expect to find other device makers to be the same as Amazon in that respect.
