Whitcoulls now show the price of the Kobo reader.

$295 NZD.

It's on the high side for certain, especially as it should have been around $250 to be equivilent to the AU price.
On the other hand, it's about what I expected from them. I predicted it would be sold somewhere between $260-$300.

EDIT: Lets hope that they've already made allowances for the planned 2.5% increase in GST, and will not raise the price in October
