As for the Reader store, I have actually found things I couldn't at the Kobo store, but for ease of purchasing [being able to use Chapters gift card], and for some of the discounts you get from time to time, I mainly use Kobobooks for purchases. Personally if the T2 performs slightly better with longer battery life than the T1, that alone would make me consider changing. However, from the looks of it in the pictures, the [shiny] bezel has been eliminated, and the overall finish appears to be matte, and that would definitely make me look a lot harder at upgrading should the right deal come around. |

Really? That's so strange. I find the search on the Kobo website is absolutely horrendous. I was curious as to when JK Rowling's new book is coming out and how much. I did a search and entered - Casual Vacancy. I got 141 returns and the first book is Sex and the Stranger: A Collection of Casual...., second was a book called Casual Sex, third was a book on grilling. I stopped looking. Their search function is awful. I just hate it. That's not the first time their search has yielded tons of useless returns for me. I instead went to Amazon to get the info I wanted immediately. I do buy books from Kobobooks when I can get a discount or when I have a gift card but good gracious they need to fix their search function. I consistently turn away from them because of it. I find Sony's search much better and same for Amazon. Kobo's is horrible. |

It's not on kobobooks at all yet, which I'm guessing may account for your lack of relevant results in this case. Though I confess I use search functions on websites not a lot; to find it on the kobo store (if it was there), I would just google <"casual vacancy" site:kobobooks.com>. |

The information about her new book is available on Sony, as already pointed out, on Kindle and on the Kobo's paper book sister-site, Chapters/Indigo. It should pop up on their ebook site as well. It doesn't along with just about anything else I search for on their site. It's awful! Having to resort to a third party search engine to find a specific book on an ebook website is well, just plain stupid and unnecessary. The search feature on the site should work without having to resort to such measures. |

The Casual Vacancy is not showing up on the kobobooks site because it's not there, not because the search engine is FUBAR. I'm not claiming the search engine is great, just that this example tells us nothing about it. |

The Sony UK store just launched and probably will take time to have a large catalog available. The Sony US store has nearly everything that I want. I use Kobo when I have a coupon. I searched on Michael Connelly in the Sony UK store and his books appeared on the list. I assume you meant the popular author with an "e" in the surname. |
