OMG! I ordered mine from Kobo US. It came from Canada. First surprise. Second surprise, it didn't come with the gray sleep cover, it came with the ruby snap back. The box has something blacked out, but does not say demo anywhere.

First thing I did was remove the back. Yes it is identical the Minis I had in the past. In setting up, the default date is 2011. This is not looking good. Will update when I get to the software version.

It was obvious older software, which updated OTA to 3.4.1. This is definitely not a new device, it is old stock.
