Kobo used to be sold in the USA in Borders, which later went under. It's sad that they're not sold in other stores now but kind of understandable. Obviously bookstores see them as competition. Stores like Walmart that sell books quit selling ereaders. They used to sell Kindles but decided they were competing with themselves and stopped.
Stores that don't sell books probably don't have much interest in selling ereaders and if they did they'd probably look into selling Kindles or even Nooks, which are better known in this country.
My guess is that Kobo would love to have outlets in this country but nobody in retailing is interested. Too bad because my other guess is a lot of readers would be interested.
