Several years ago I bought my first (and then months later a second backup) Kobo Glo from The Book Cellar. While they said I can buy books through them now, they no longer carry any of the Kobo readers, nor can they order them. A few other places I called didn't carry the readers at all when I was shopping around for them. I preferred buying locally in case there were any problems with the reader. Now I order from Chapters in Canada and with the exchange rates, it turns out cheaper than buying direct from Kobo even though they charge $15 shipping.
So that list has been out there for quite awhile, just not very reliable. You have to call a store to find out if they really do carry the Kobo readers at all, and if so, which ones.
