Yes, e-readers would be the one class of device that Amazon purposely imposes exclusivity on.

But this is a standard practice: I can't get Nook books or Kobo books on my Kindle either, but I can get them on my tablet and phone using the apps. They all do the same thing.

It seems that none of them want to play with each other. It isn't ideal, but it is reality for now. If you want Kobo books on an e-ink e-reader... afraid you pretty much just have to get a Kobo! (Ignoring the one or two e-ink Android tablets, of course)

If the Kobo Touch is one of the three models they're going to keep, then the fact that they only have two of their five colors (lilac and blue) in stock is kind of an odd way to go about it. I had come to the conclusion that the Kobo Touch was going to be dropped ...
As if on cue, Kobo now has all five colors of the Kobo Touch again. I never tire of making an idiot of myself.

I just checked the website of the only bookstore authorized to sell Kobos here, and all of the Glos are on "special order" status. Which means you have to go to a branch and order one personally... They still have the Touch available online tho... So I guess that's really it for the Glo... Which sucks 'cause we don't have Auras available here...

You're right. I must have found a time-warped web page or something. Either that or I've completely gone off the rocker.

If you HAVE gone off your rocker... it may be literally impossible for us to know whether you have found a time-warped web page or are, in fact, simply crazed beyond reason.
