Best Price for Kobo
I am planning to give both my wife and daughter a Kobo Touch for Christmas. Apparently, FutureShop has a one day dale tomorrow. The KT is $119. Does anyone know if anyone else has a better price?

Whoa. No, I haven't seen a better price anywhere other than someone mentioned refurbished Touchs once. I think.

I just saw a Walmart ad for the WiFis for $88. Hmm, but likely not in stock in the stores in Edmonton.

Kobo's email today was $139 for the KT and a $20 gift card.

I got one from Toys r'us for $119 a couple weeks ago.

I think $119 is the best price this christmas.

I bought a Kobo Touch today and was able to use a coupon (card) given to me by a salesperson in the store. The coupon is called "Twice as nice" and gives you a discount on a purchase totalling $50 or more for your first visit, and then double the discount on your second visit (at least 24 hours later) also on purchase of $50 or more. The discount is hidden and shows up after the cashier rings in your purchase, variable from $5 to $5,000. My discount was $5, and it was applied after tax.

Thus I paid somewhere in the vicinity of $115 ($128.28 = price after tax) for my Kobo Touch.

Ohhh...I'll be curious to how how you like your KT compared to your Nook. One of my co-workers bought a Nook and she loves it!

I haven't had time to play around with it much. I do see ghosting on the Kobo and I don't have that on the Nook.

Go into the advanced settings (press bottom of the screen when you're in a book, then press the wrench, then select Advanced Settings) and you can change it to between 1 and 6 pages refresh. It defaults to 6 so dropping it may get rid of the ghosting for you.

I read on this forum that ghosting can be caused by cold temps...so if you've stored your kobo by a window or a cool place, that could be why...
