How come it isn’t available in the Canadian Itunes store?????
The Kobo version of the iPhone app should be back in the App Store any minute. From the time we flip the switch, it can take a little while for Apple to put it back in the store. Try this direct link in the meantime.
I’m going to translate “New supported devices…” as a Kobo-branded device, and sleep easily tonight
Hmmmm….direct link to itunes Kobo app got me to the new app but when I click on “free app” button I get this message “get the item you tried to buy is no longer available”
How long to the Kobo-branded device with 3G?
When can we expect PayPal as a payment option?
