I think this is likely to be true, but it does make me wonder why Kobo doesn't do sales of its hardware more often. Amazon often offers discounts on the Kindle range, but in the nearly 2.5 years since I switched to Kobo the number of times the Kobo Store I have access to has offered any discount at all on any device at all is exactly zero.
