These all are about Kobo legally pursuing agency
This just strengthens Jon's arguments. I liked the way Nate put things on the Digital Reader;

Quote:
Of course, what we really have here is a subsidiary of a Japanese retail giant which objects to having to actively competing against the subsidiary of an American retail giant, so it's not like there's a need to protect a Canadian company.
Even if there was 100% Canadian ownership and control of the whole group it is a dubious proposition that consumers should be forced to subsidise an operation which by its own admission cannot compete. I wish Kobo well, but not like this.
