What is Kobo?

Remember that rumour from this past summer that Indigo was planning to unveil a dedicated e-reading device? Well, some intrigue at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office is reviving such speculation.

Yesterday, blogger Mark Bertils noted that the Shortcovers app had gone AWOL in the Apple store. And a little digging from the Association of Canadian Publisher’s Nic Boshart has unearthed that Indigo-owned Shortcovers has taken out a trademark on the name Kobo, described as a portable e-reading device “for receiving, downloading, displaying, providing access to and reading text, images and sound and other digital content through wireless Internet access.”

    I remember reading Kris Abel’s article about Indigo coming out with an eReading device. The other day my iPhone apps update screen had a update for Shortcovers called Kobo. I emailed the vice-pres. @Shortcovers and he was pretending he didn’t know what I was talking about. I do hope it comes out soon. And, has a 3G connection to their ebooks. I’ll buy it right away. Without 3G I won’t. All SC’s needs now is a frequent buyers program.
