We visited Best Buy to explore the Kobo e-readers, and we had a great experience. Tarek, the customer service representative, was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the differences between Kindle and Kobo.
I was personally leaning toward a Kobo, and Tarek was very helpful in answering our questions and helping us understand the options without any pressure.
Great store with lots of choices, and excellent customer service. Thank you, Tarek, for your help!

Reviews
Came in to buy a Garmin watch. I walked the entire store to find an employee to open the case. I found 3 employees all helping customers. Totally reasonable. I waited at the cash to ask for help. The woman I spoke to told me she would call someone to open the case for me. We waited another 5 minutes. A male employee walked toward us, but was clearly going to walk past without asking if we needed help. I had to prompt him to open the case for us. It was a very frustrating experience.
Shiv helped me with upgrading my phone and he was super friendly, patient, and helpful. His colleague also assisted and was equally nice. I came in before closing time as my phone had broken down and they made the upgrade seamless.
