Kobo Price Not Dropping in Australia

The eReader price wars may be strong in the U.S., but not on Borders’ Kobos in Australia. The Kobo costs $199 Australia, which is about $176 US, so its not too far from the Kindle and more than the Nook.

Malcolm Neil, the Communications Manager at REDgroup Retail Group, the company that runs Borders in Australia, told BookBee.com.au that the price wouldn’t be dropping to compete anytime soon because there have been supply chain issues, which will make it difficult to bring down the cost.
