In my WHSmiths Kobo has been gone since the start of the year. They don't even sell Kobo gift cards at all. You can buy online from WHSmith still as well as Argos and Currys/Dixons had Kobo ereaders online too (although I've not checked to see whether thats still the case). Kobo's distribution is pretty atrocious. I can go into plenty of shops and see Kindles left right and centre but most people don't even seem to know what a Kobo is. I wonder if Kobo & WHSmith had a falling out of some sort or if WHSmith just didnt sell enough to make it worth their while to have in store stock/displays.
