Somewhere in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada:
Man 1: "And who cares if there are public domain books preloaded?"
Man 2: "Sammy, Sammy, Sammy...., you always assume that everybody in the planet is as smart and technically inclined as you are. You may not care, but there are millions of tech and internet illiterati out there who care"
Man 1: "Kobo is not going to make any inroads unless they come in significantly cheaper than the competition!"
Man 2: "Competition? You mean Sony? Sony costs much more..."
Man 1: "I am not talking about Sony! There are Amazon's Kindle and Barnes& Noble's Nook that sell for..."
Man 2: "Oh.... Amazon and Barnes. But they are not in Canada, are they? I don't think they have presence down there in Oz and New Zealand either, do they?"
Man 1: "People can buy over the internet, it's just a few mouse clicks away"
Man 2: "Sammy, Sammy, Sammy, see what your problem is?"
