I was kinda amazed to find out how hard it was to buy a kobo libra colour in .de -- apparently there's some kind of cartel thing going on where amazon somehow convince entire markets not to sell their competitors products. I had to order it from Hungary or something iirc.

That's because Kobo's sister company Tolino operates in Germany. It has nothing to do with Amazon.
Ah that makes a little more sense. Do they jut rebrand kobo devices to tolino? I see they also have a colour e-reader but i can’t really tell if it’s the same device or not…
I don't know if that is Amazon in Germany. Here all the book stores sell Tolino devices, even my local libraries loan them out.
