What? no Alaska? it borders Canada
The only one I would've considered is the Mini and it's the only one not eligible. |

The Mini shows - ugh! My mistake! That is ridiculous. It should be included.

This brings the Kobo Aura to $10 more than the PW2. It's a shame one can't easily see one in person. |

yea, I want a glow but have been hoping for a bigger drop....crazy how hard it is to spend money on yourself. I have had no problem shopping for the kids in my fam, but me....noooooooooo
Anyone had any experience with the Glo?...i would be moving from the NST (no glow) - Kind of looking forward to the light and the ability to (really) manage collections/shelves |

Ok, this finally pushed me to order an Aura. But both times I've tried, I get stuck with a spinning wheel saying "your order is processing" once I hit submit. For 10+ minutes! I checked my cc to see if any charges were pending... nothing. I called Kobo and the lady couldn't find an order for me, and suggested I wait 24 hours.
Sigh. This company just does not make it easy. |

I'm torn between the new Nook Glowlight and a Kobo for epub reading. I was almost going to buy a Paperwhite, but then rumors promise an HD version with all sorts of other fancy enhancements in the Spring, so I didn't want to feel buyer's remorse. I also kind of like my Nook HD for both epub and Kindle compatability and not having to deal with page flashes. |

ETA: Ugh...Gave up and tried to open a chat, but the page would not load, so submitted a ticket to receive assistance by email (since technically i shouldn't be shopping @ W). Will watch for their response. Hopefully they get it together soon; it took me long enough to convince myself to buy it. Last edited by gabby98; 12-05-2013 at 04:49 PM. |

I'll probably keep trying but I'm beginning to suspect this "issue" may resolve itself just as soon as the coupon code expires. |

Ugh...so I called customer care since I am home now...they had me try again, try another browser, another card and a new account. NOW they want to escalate it to the website/app people to be fixed. I swear if I show multiple charges to my card I will drive to Canada myself and slap someone. (I will say that when I login to my CC i see no charge attempts, but if they can't keep a working site, they either need to go back to basics or work with a Web Team that knows what they are doing!)
