Best Buy no longer selling Kobo products???
Hi,
Last weekend I went to Bestbuy looking to purchase a kobo mini. They didn't have the display model out so I came home and looked online. When I search for Kobo on the website...no results found. I wonder what is going on.

Actually, I bought mine just under a month ago at Best Buy. They had them in-store but the odd thing was I haven't seen any on their website - even at the time.

bestbuy.com used to have I think the touch and glo on their site just a few days ago. I just searched it again for 'kobo' and nothing came up.

You're right BestBuy.com has none listed. According to Kobo website the only place to order in USA is Kobo or Family Christian.

Unless it's changed very recently, they do carry them in some independent bookstores as well. I finally got to see one in person because of it.

Isn't Best Buy in the process of closing down or something? Perhaps Kobo isn't the only thing they no longer carry.

A couple of the local Best Buy's are being shut down by Future Shop. Several of the stores are within spitting distance of each other so I'd suspect they are seeing less purchases compared to a single store in those locations.
