I had to buy all ereaders I've ever had from abroad, sight unseen, sometimes even from the US. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.
So don't call us lucky. Look for other options if you cannot get one from a local store. That's what many of us had to do.

A big book store had distributed kobo here in the Philippines, but while the book store remained, their distributorship of kobo devices stopped. probably because here in the Philippines, most readers prefer kindles.
So us who like kobo devices have no option but to order from the US or unoficial resellers.
Forwarders who charges 12-13 US$ are cheap enough for the items to reach the Philippines. Amazon can also deliver directly here for 15 US$
But, returns are almost impossible or at the very least very difficult and complicated process.
