I ordered one last night after someone mentioned this in another thread here. Here's the shipping scoop.

Their order confirmation email says their shipping times are:

Canada Post 7-10 business days
Purolator Ground 5-7 business days
Purolator Air 3-5 business days

*However*, it then goes on to state:

"If an item number starts with 6, your item will be shipped directly from our supplier and will take 15-17 business days to arrive."

The Kobo Glo's item number does begin with a six, so 2-3 weeks for arrival. I'm really hoping it doesn't take that long! I love my Touch, but DH is getting tired of me staying up to read until 3 a.m. with a bedside light that lights up the whole room. (I tried one of those clip-on lights, but find them too annoying.)

Oh, and with taxes (Ontario) and shipping (ground) it came to $155.90. Taxes were $17.94.
