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.

I use to walk into WalMart they have Tons of Different Brands of eReaders. Now they have None. My 1st ereader was Nook purchased at Books-a-Million Just Junk
They too stopped selling them. Target had Nooks & Kindles but now they have just Nooks ...think they have a fight with Amazon but not sure. I could go on but wont. I Never Seen Kobo ereaders in Any Store! Not in Borders in Hagerstown MD nor Waldens in my town. Which Both closed when Borders went under.
Hard for me to buy anything I cant get my hands on I really like to Look things over before I buy. On Line buying sucks. B&M stores are going by way of the dodo bird
