Question KOBO H2O US Brick and mortar stores?
OK.

I was wondering if the H20 is for sale in any brick and mortar stores. I looked at KOBO's web site and they have NO stores listed at all in the US.

Best Buy does not have the H20 listed?

Best Buy will not be carrying the Kobo H2O. From what they told me, all Kobo products are discontinued.

I haven't found an independent bookstore that's selling the H2O either. Our only option is to order directly from Kobo.

It's a shame. I was wondering if Best Buy in the states might eventually get it in, but I guess not. You can still buy them at Best Buy in Canada.

That might be due to the fact that Best Buy may be headed the way of the Dinosaur....

Here's a list of independent stores that carry Kobo readers, but you'll have to call around and see if any near you carry the H2O, they don't all carry the same readers. For stores near me, I have best luck at The Book Cellar.

Ordered one online from Kobo in Canada on 10-14, received it in Florida, USA, on 10-22. Not instant gratification, but worth the short wait. Mine has been excellent in all regards.

I think, in the U.S., Best Buy quit selling Kobo eReaders about two years ago.

Maybe in store. But you could order and do ship-to-store when the Aura came out, I seem to recall. I did this Late 2013 or early 2014.

2 days for me! Unbelievable - I can't even get mail to Tampa from 3 counties away in that amount of time!

Yeah, I was thinking in-store. The last Kobos I saw displayed at Best Buy (I believe) were the Kobo Touches, Glos and Minis. What I can't understand is, why doesn't Kobo's parent company, Rakuten, use their online U.S. retail division (formerly Buy.Com) to sell them? If you search for Kobos on Rakuten's site, you'll find the Kobo Touch (for example) selling for $199 by someone named "Action Packaged, Inc." Someone else is selling a Touch for $111 -- and that's pretty much the way it goes for all Kobo products advertised there. Weird.
