    I bought a Kobo Clara last year and it works. I can even buy books. I live in Brazil.

      Where did you get your Kobo?

        Ebay or Aliexpress, I don’t remember. It works in conjunction with “Livraria cultura”, though.

          I’m assuming the purchase came from outside Brazil, then? How was the import process? I used to work for a device manufacturer and we had some customers in Brazil. It seemed like import duties were often quite high and there was a good likelihood the customs inspector might want a bribe. Most customers would have us ship to someone in the US and it seemed like they weren’t freight forwarders, just someone they knew traveling to Brazil soon who would bring the device with them. Actually, most of Central and South America was like that.

            I didn’t pay that much. It was 300 to 500 reais. I received the product in my doorstep.
