Kobo tends to take Mothers Day quite seriously, as women make up the majority of their core reading demographic. In the past they have always released new hardware just in time for mom’s special day, but this year they are giving out massive discounts.
Discounts abound for Mothers Day in Canada across the entire 2013 product line of Kobo tablets and e-readers. Chapters, Future Shop, Best Buy, Staples and the Source are all participating in this promotion. You can save $30 on the six inch Kobo Aura e-Reader, $20 on the Kobo Arc 7 HD and $50 on the Kobo Arc 10 HD. You have until May 15th to capitalize on these promotions.
Likely the best deal of the bunch is the Kobo Aura at $109, which is actually more affordable then the previous generation Kobo Glo which is $123. The Aura was one of the best e-readers of all 2013 with its innovative design of making the screen flush with the bezel. It also has a very unique design, high resolution and a massive digital bookstore.
