Agreed, Kindle is available from Best Buy and Staples in addition to Amazon which is ubiquitous Amazon even has a help list of retailers with 20+ names. As a Prime member a Kindle can be ordered and arrive in a day or two while a Kobo ships from Canada via UPS and takes a week or so to arrive in Nevada.
