Wouldn't it depend on what the warranty (and the country's consumer laws) say? If there is no clause in the warranty saying internet purchases void the warranty, isn't it possible/likely that an authorized Kobo seller is selling stuff on the internet (either thru Amazon, or EBay, or ...)?
FWIW, I've bought non-amazon electronics from Amazon (HT receivers, monitors, ...), if something happened within the warranty period (and after Amazon's no-questions-asked return period), I wouldn't go to Amazon, I'd go directly to the manufacturer to get the warranty work done.

John,
On new stuff, read the fine print. Or actually not so fine. Everything I have ever gotten says after 30 days, contact the manufacturer. Before the 30 days use the store's return policy.
This would exclude my bread machine because I did buy it direct from Sunbeam. They offered me a lower price than Amazon.
