A couple of other places had them briefly.
The Kindle is far more available even online and of course on Amazon search for eReaders or even kobo brings up Kindle.
Tesco sold Kindle here for a while, no longer. Still in Argos Ireland, though only the adverts versions.

I'd guess that in UK, Ireland and USA the Kindle might be 90% of sales now?
People even call my Kobo a "Kindle"!
john Lewis still has the Libra
Colour Black
Product price
£149.99

Currently in stock online

strangely, the forma, though out of stock, is showing at £199. I paid John Lewis £239 for mine, not that long ago.
maybe thay had a brief sale & sold out, or maybe they are about to discontinue them. - JL is having a hard time nowadays so if the margin on Kobo is poor, they may be rationalising ?
