And there is no promotion over here of the Kobo''s - so unless you do serious research before buying, most people are going to head straight to Amazon.

I know most of the Smiths I walk past used to have big signs in the windows for Kobos, but they've vanished recently too. The staff I spoke to in Holborn Smiths said they still sold a reasonable amount of Kobos (much to my surprise actually), they at least used to have a member of staff there who knew what he was talking about.
