Yeah, but from about 2012 or 2013 when Best Buy quit selling them, until about 2018 when Walmart started selling them, Kobos were mostly imported from Canada, or found at a handful of independent U.S. booksellers, or sold on the gray market in the U.S. This is not what you would really call a U.S. "presence." You had to have the "drive" to actually find a Kobo if you wanted to buy one.
