The Future Shop announcement had various inaccuracies. The hardware was sealed with the FCC clearing. Did price change--maybe. FWIW, I did not see this on the Future Shop website when I checked about an hour ago. And now readers are available directly from Kobo, which should make it possible to sell it for less.

I saw a $129 Touch on the Kobo website, btw. That was also a pre-order, with the $139 one also on the site when I looked early this AM. Now only the $139 device is listed, so I would expect a price change for that model in about 10 days.
