I actually had a positive experience in my local Borders in Lower Bucks PA, yesterday. I wanted to look over the Sony Pocket reader (which i ordered used on eBay and am awaiting its arrival) but also to see if the Kobo was around to be looked at. The salesperson mentioned that they were none on the floor, but was able to hand me a real device from the back to look over. Brand new, no security lock although the salesperson was next to me the whole time. I was impressed with their knowledge on the device and how they presented it - well done.

I would have seriously considered the Kobo for purchase, but it's just too big for me - I want something that I can put in a pocket. But it was very light and the screen looked nice.
