Borders Book Stores sold Kobo and other ereaders about 1 year before they started closing excess stores on their way to going out of business. This was about 2011 when Kobo Wifi was released. By late 2013 Kobo readers were gone from US stores including Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others that had sold them. Their is now no US affiliate selling Kobo readers.
