Kobo has announced the Kobo Touch, which will be an ad supported tablet retailing for $99.99. It will begin shipping in two to three weeks and will be available in the U.S. and in the color black.

“Kobo Touch with Offers presents you with sponsored screens and valuable offers when your device is powered off or in sleep mode, and in other discreet places that are always outside of the reading experience, like on the bottom of your home screen,” noted Kobo. “Kobo Touch with Offers is currently available to customers in the United States in black only. Other than that, Kobo Touch with Offers offers the same reading experience as the popular Kobo Touch eReader.”
