Fnac Now Taking Pre-orders for Kobo Touch

Actualitte is reporting that the Kobo Touch will go up for pre-order today on Fnac’s website.

Fnac and Kobo announced a partnership several weeks back, but at that time there was no mention of eReaders. Now we know that Fnac will be shipping the Kobo Touch on 28 November, and it’s now taking pre-orders. Fnac is selling the Kobo Touch for €130, or about €20 less than Kobo’s own price in Europe. Readers will also be getting €30 in gift certificates with each pre-ordered Kobo Touch.

The Kobo Touch supports an on device eBookstore, and the eReaders sold by Fnac will be able to chose from over 2 million titles distributed by Kobo, including 200 thousand eBooks in French.
