Collins Books is pre-selling then at $160.

The Kobobooks.com site has a where-to-buy page for the glo.

Rumour has it they will be here in November.

Thanks for the update!
I've been dropping heavy hints to my wife to get me one for Xmas
So I can wait until November, meanwhile I'm still very happy with my Kobo Touch.

Wouldn't it be better if it was a surprise when you bought if for her? Or at least, that's how it would work in my house.

I've been watching this release date push back and back and back - at this rate, I won't have my birthday present until Xmastime! Curses and botheration.

A&R/Bookworld now say mid-November.

Collins has nothing on their Kobo order page. Not sure what this means...
