btw rs1994 = 33$

whereas the new Kindle touch is available here (India) for 100$ (78$ on sale, which occurs every 2-3months)

Just wanted to confirm if the one available here is the latest. I just might buy it instead of kindle

The Kobo Touch advertised by Cromaretail is the latest model. But since this model is on the market for maybe 3 or 4 years, this does not say much about the production date of the device that you will get. Anyway, this is a very nice price!

The only thing to winder about is which version of the Touch this is? The original with internal flash, or newer with internal SD card.

That's the only difference ?

I might be wrong, but going by the designation Kobo Touch N905-KBO-S, I am rather certain it is a C model (which have an internal SD).

I just read on wikipedia that the C model is the cheap one. What's the difference between this one and non-c ?

"Three variants of the Kobo Touch were released: N905, N905B, and N905C. The first was the original Kobo Touch; the second was the model with advertisements; the third was the low-cost model introduced after the release of the Kobo Glo"

Nevermind, misread it

The "cheap one" is the newer. It has a newer processor than the old one and uses the same firmware as do Glo, Mini, Aura HD. The C model devices that I have seen had all better contrast than the older models (also far better contrast than the Glo). Some of the older (= non-C models) did not have a internal SD. The advantage of the internal SD is that a recovery is possible in case you brick the device.
