Hi Willa, yeah I thought that would be the case by ringing the stores. Mostly store staff really don't know anything about anything unless it's actually there in the store. Usually they are the last to know

.
Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if they appeared in store, high priced gadgets tend to be online more in stores like this. I thought Tesco's would have added it though, they seem to sell a lot of Kobo's on Tesco's Direct, not sure about in-store though.
I guess we probably have the answer that it's going to be at least 2 weeks probably longer before they appear and are available for sale. I wonder whether it would be worth ordering direct from Kobo but so far I don't like the sound of their ordering system. Once you've ordered you get complete dead air and no updates at all about the order.
