Well, would ya look at this? Apparently, Kobo's unceremoniously launched a new variant of the [Touch eReader](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/kobo-ereader-touch-edition-review/) on its webstore -- this time "with offers," priced at $99.99 (down from the regular's $130). According the company, this six-incher is identical to its original Kobo Touch, but will display advertisements when you're not reading -- namely, while it's off, in sleep mode and across other "discreet" areas when it's on. Notably, the device is only available in black and currently unavailable for pre-order, although Kobo's listed it as "shipping within two to three weeks." There's no word on what sorts of "sponsored content" you can expect to see, but we'd bet that [Amazon](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/24/kindle-3g-gets-ad-supported-164-version-sells-your-eyeballs-fo/)-related items won't be on the table. Ad-tolerating eBook aficionados will find all the details at the source link below.
