Kobo Wireless eReader Now at Best Buy

It only makes sense that with Borders closing a large number of stores, their Kobo eReader would need to find an additional place to call home. That place is Best Buy. And now through May 14, 2011, you can get a deal on the device! At all U.S. Best Buy locations (and online), Best Buy is selling the Onyx Kobo Wireless eReader for a discounted price of $99.99. After the end of this promotion, the Kobo Wireless eReader will go back to its regular price of $129.99.

Getting even more bang for your buck, the Kobo Wireless eReader comes pre-loaded with 100 free eBooks, along with access to the Kobo store that offers over 2.3 million titles where you can find new releases, magazines, newspapers and more. You can also borrow eBooks from local libraries and read them for free on the device.

Kobo's Wireless eReader holds up to 1,000 eBooks and has a SD expansion slot that can increase capacity to 10,000 eBooks. There are also free eReading applications (found at www.kobo.com) for most smartphones, desktops, laptops and tablets, and the app comes pre-loaded on the new BlackBerry PlayBook.

"We've seen great success working with Best Buy in Canada and look forward to being available in-store in the U.S. with the Mother's Day special," said Todd Humphrey, vice president of business development, Kobo. "Having Kobo's Wireless eReader in Best Buy stores throughout the United States and online provides the eReading public with more purchasing options and allows shoppers to compare our eReader to the competition to see the value and versatility we bring to the table. Best Buy is the ultimate electronic shopping destination, offering knowledgeable product experts and a low price guarantee."
