The Borders NZ site hasn't yet been updated, but they've said in media releases that they'll start stocking e-books this month. And if they stock the Kobo reader at a similar price to the Aus. one, I might just get one as my birthday present :-)
Apparently Whitcoulls are opening an ebook store on the 27th of May, and will (supposedly) be selling the Kobo reader. They are teaming up with Kobo to provide the store.

Here's a page from the Whitcoulls site. There's also been some press releases about it.

(I believe Whitcoulls and Borders are owned by the same company here in NZ, so Borders NZ may also have an ebook store coming...)
