Refurb'ed GLOs now at Kobo website, $79 - Page 2

One problem is that not many of the independent booksellers are selling the H2O. That means it might not be on display for people to see know they can buy one. And for the shops that are selling the H2O, they are not listed on Kobo's website as selling the h2O so people won't know which stores in the US are selling and won't go looking.

I did find a shop here that is selling the H2O. But I do not know if they have a display.

Yes it's sad, even Powell's Bookstore just provides a link to the Kobo site to purchase an ereader. I just purchased a $99 Aura with a free sleepcover and free shipping from Chapters Indigo. This should satisfy my pursuit of Kobo devices for awhile. Now the wait begins again. I would prefer to walk into a local store and purchase but those days are in the past. Ahh fond memories of walking into a local Borders Bookstore or Best Buy store and purchasing a new ereader and gift cards

I'm not sure who gave up Kobo or US businesses.

Powell's is where I got my very first Kobo Glo.

I just ordered a red snap back for my Mini. Shipping wasn't free.

I don't know what all qualifies for free shipping. I only ordered a single item the sleepcover and it qualified. I was tempted to order the red neoprene case but refrained.
