Indigo actually has the Libra h20 for 169, $10 cheaper than Best Buy and can stack with the Moola gift card sale

I think I'm going to wait till BF to see if there are any additional sales, if not I will go for the Indigo + Moola route.

I have been using the Forma since it came out. I love it.
It’s very light,responsive and the light works great. There have been consistent updates since I started using it where they continue to improve performance.
I can’t speak to the Oasis.

Shoppers will also have the Kobo Clara for $120 starting Nov 30.

Does anyone know what the regular price for this is in Shoppers? There is a bonus redemption on Nov 27 only, if the regular price isn't too bad, I wouldn't mind using up my points to buy it.

One of the things I like about my Kindle is I can upload books or other documents to the web and read them on my e-reader or the Kindle app and it syncs my reading location. That way if I'm out without my reader I can read on my phone, and then pick back up when I'm home. Can I do this with Kobo?

Regular price for Kobo Clara @ SDM, in Nova Scotia, is $139.99.

If you are going to borrow ebooks at the library I suggest you buy Kobo. Kindle doesn't have overdrive.

So quick BF Kobo recap:

Kobo Clara $120 everywhere

Kobo Libra $180 everywhere

Kobo Forma $270 everywhere

Everywhere meaning Kobo site, Indigo, LD, BB, Staples, etc. Amazon Kobo price yet to be seen.

Did I miss anything?

For me I will see if Rakuten/GCR have any amazing cash back offers tomorrow. Otherwise use my Indigo gift card on a Libra

My error on this one, the bonus redemption is actually starting Nov 27 to Dec 2 so if you can find the Clara on sale during the week then you can take advantage of your points.

No Overdrive in Oakville.

Depends where you live. Oakville switched from Overdrive to Cloudlibrary so Kobo is not compatible and I believe Kindle is.
