    Did anyone check the date on the “Should Amazon be concerned about Kobo’s new international e-bookstore?” post?

    By any definition a post from 2012 is not “the major news for the week”.

    Well that’s our mistake, Mark! It was sent around in one of the trade emails this week and we thought it was interesting. We checked the month and date, but not the year. We’ll make a note and swap something in. Thanks for catching it!
