That's definitely a great deal. This past Christmas I bought a brand new Glo HD from Chapters in Canada for $78 USD. Chapters had a discount, plus another 10% discount if you paid with VISA Checkout, add $15 for shipping, but when converted to USD turned out to be only $78 even with the shipping. I couldn't pass that up and bought it as a spare. I honestly felt like I was stealing too at the time .

Code:
[General]
affiliate=Kobo
What affiliate you add will make the difference between getting firmware updates either immediately or months and months later after the release date.

If you want the updates immediately, use affiliate=BestBuyCA for the line in the affiliate.conf file.

If you'd rather wait to get them (gives you a chance to see if there are bugs introduced or other issues), use affiliate=KoboIndigo. It's a simple thing to change that line back to BestBuyCA when you decide you want to download the firmware if you don't want to manually upgrade it.

Enjoy the new reader, I love mine.
