I have no idea if using the Kobo desktop application, rather than the Borders one would render that moot.

Is there some special deal going on at Walmart in the US that makes it worth doing this? Our local Walmart had them for $128 CAD over the holidays--not sure of the price now.

Now they're $149 here. Walmart US has them for $129. Not a big deal but if we're taking the trip anyway...

Our local Chapters-Indigo has been so great when folks have needed to return a Kobo that I would not buy one anyplace else.

You're right there. I've had nothing but the best of service from our Indigo store and personnel.

Thank you for your response.
