That will be a pretty small subsset of the devices they'd have to recall and even if they have to swap devices for those people it's would be a lot cheaper in the long run.

Well, unless those models are discontinued, it's the only explanation that I can think of as to why there isn't a single Kobo reader in any brick-and-mortar store in my city at the moment, even though the displays are still up. But whatever. I secured my Glo HD before they all mysteriously disappeared. I'm happy.
