When you say ereader models, do you mean Best Buy USA and do you mean ereader models including NOOK?
The last time I saw a NOOK in a Best Buy USA was circa 2010.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhites are still sold in local Best Buy USA stores.
I have never seen any Kobo ereaders in Best Buy USA.
Separate thoughts on recent comments in this thread post:
I don't care that NOOK is USA only. Tolino is Germany only, and it's just a brand name over the Kobo hardware. Storytel ereaders are Sweden only (I believe), and they don't even work without a subscription (which is a
shocking bit of electronic waste, to me).
I only cared that it seems that they do things that ruin the experience every few months.
I have more than enough eReaders...but if all my NOOKs, Kindles and Kobos were to suddenly stop working and needed replacing, I would just buy a Kindle Paperwhite 11th generation and call it a day. They are so often on sale or available secondhand for reasonable prices in the USA.
Waterproof, 300 ppi, warm light, ability to export annotations, and multi-language dictionaries. Everything else is superfluous.
Kobo has native EPUB compatibility, but I have software to convert my EPUB purchases anyway.
