Hi NNolan,
It was a private transaction with a fellow board member who happens to be a Canadian Citizen ![]() If they are viewing this thread, maybe they will PM you and offer to do the same for you if you have not already ordered yet. |

But I have...many times! As well as Florida! Very popular for the warm weather but culturally enormously different regardless of the number of vacationing Canadians.

I ordered yesterday from shopereaders.com. I'll give it a week or so and see how they do.

You're welcome. And have you got it yet? It should be any day now, if not.

- they've supported their largest market (Canada), - they've shored up recent success in France (where they've enjoyed 50% marketshare recently) - they've managed to beat both Nook and Amazon to the punch in the UK (the only country on Earth where all three major front-lit e-readers are all slated to be released) Not bad for the underdog, I dare say. |

Shopereaders charged my credit card today; I hope that means they will be shipping a Kobo to me this week.

It appears independent books stores will be getting stock soon in the U.S.
I read in another post where a member said his local independent was expecting stock next week. So, I called a local independent in St. Louis - 'Subterranean Books' and I was told, "Yes they plan to carry them and were expecting stock in the next week or two". So, I think we can expect U.S. sitings soon. ![]() |

Was it for sale by mistake? Or was it a marketing ploy type of thing? Never mind--I read that as "for sale for one day" not from day one. Whoops. Sorry, my bad. Last edited by BearMountainBooks; 10-24-2012 at 07:23 PM. Reason: Because I can't read, apparently. |
