Back in November Kobo announced that they would be sold to a Japanese company called Rakuten. Yesterday the acquisition was finalized: Kobo is now officially owned by Rakuten.
While this may sound like bad news for Kobo, it should actually end up helping them. Rakuten is a very successful e-commerce company and Kobo will continue to operate out of its Toronto headquarters with the same management team.

Kobo is running a sale on the Kobo Wi-Fi while supplies last. It is refurbished and is selling for $39.99 with free shipping from Kobobooks.com

The regular price is $89 so that is a considerable discount. In fact I think it’s the lowest priced E Ink ereader I’ve ever seen. $40? That’s crazy. Even if it is refurbished.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is a very highly rated book. It has a rating of 4.5 stars over 332 reviews, so it must be good. In fact, it won the 2006 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award in Fiction.
