In the US Kobo will have a real hard time grabbing market share until they make it a lot easier to purchase.
Absolutly

There are some things I buy at Brick and Mortar stores because I can touch the goods (If I visit a B&M store, I do not, then buy that exact product online. I might decide to NOT buy that model, because of the Demo)

Kindle, Nooks (and formerly: Astak and Sony) were on offer at local area businesses

Kobo? Where can I try one of those without the hassle of returns
Not Fry's
Not Wal*Mart
Not Target
Not Borders (now gone )
Not the Public Library

These are Consumer Items. Shouldn't they be available in normal Consumer Channels?
