I could have sworn I saw kindles in our Walmart long before this. It used to be Sony (two models, both locked "haha, a customer locked it and we don't know the code" really??), and then I swear I saw a kindle. I know I saw a kindle in Target yesterday- it was the *only* ereader there, it wasn't locked up, but it was a "nonfunctioning" model. What the heck good is that? You can't even see how it works. They were on sale, for the online list price. When both Target and Walmart used to sell the sony, the 300 would be 199 at Target and 179 at Walmart.
Walmart (and now Target- just got it last summer) really is our only option for most electronics and, well, just about everything. If we want a bigger selection, we actually need to buy a plane ticket, or craft a boat. So online is our only option for many things (and not everyone will ship here either).
