Book with future publication date shows as preorder in Kobo store

GeoffR · 03-16-2014, 11:36 PM

I bought this book last year, but now Kobo is showing it as a preorder not available until May 2014. It looks like the publisher has just set the wrong publication date, as it shows on amazon with a future publication date too (but not as a preorder there).

Funnily enough, the book is about objects that appear from the future without explaination.

Geoff I bought a book on Kobo Aus at the end of last year, and the next day it showed that it wouldn't be available until May this year ..... go figure!!

It's still sitting in my Kobo Library, and in my Calibre (of course).
