Kobo Touch Headed to Japan, But What Does That Mean Here?
Today Kobo announced that they are bringing their ebookstore and Kobo Touch ereader to Japan on July 19th. This is no big surprise considering Kobo was purchased by Rakuten earlier this year, a Japanese online retailer.

Well, it looks like I won’t be recommending Dropbox on this website anymore, at least not for public file sharing.
