Where did you hear/read that? That would be AWESOME!
Most reports I saw say LATE summer 2010 ... which, considering it will be out in Canada in 1 week, is pretty ridiculous. I only am considering ordering one from Canada because I again want an ebook reader in that price range (got a refurb Kindle 1 before, which was stolen
)

That's what I would hope ... but there are horror stories of people ordering electronics from the US (shipping to Canada) who got hit with a $90 customs brokerage fee, etc. I would like to know whether this might also apply the other way around (which would totally kill the appeal of the Kobo).
