These have finally hit our shores and are available from WH Smith both online and in store. When I got my iPad on USA Launch the ereader software was not yet available so the choices were Kindle and Kobo, I always preferred Kobo. They have released a new Touchscreen reader at £109.99 and have a non touchscreen version at £89.99. The Kobo eReader Touch Edition is getting some favourable reviews and they are both open format.
