It's a shame indeed. Kobo used to sell their devices here, but they pulled out years ago. We also had a local bookseller that tried to face off Amazon, Saraiva, that released its own e-reader in ~2017, called Lev. (Probably a rebranded Chinese device; it was awful.) It didn't last. Right now, we have only Kindle devices for buying, and even that isn't complete — Kindle Scribe hasn't arrived yet.
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.
