I just checked the Walmart site, and the sale seems to be on the non-touch model, the PRS-300. It is a great device (it is very similar to my PRS-505, only smaller). You could check to see if they can order you a blue or silver version. It has no touchscreen and doesn't have wi-fi, and it has the older vizplex screen technology (whereas the Kobo has the newer Pearl screen with better contrast). It is still a great device if you are on a budget, and can take quite a few file types; I don't know about the 300, but my Sony PRS-505 is built like a tank, and has a great aluminum casing; I think the 300 has that same casing. If you factor in the cover, you will be saving around $50 (from what I have seen, the Kobo covers sell for between 20-35 dollars, and I haven't yet seen a lighted cover for the Kobo). Both are great e-book readers, and I think that you would be happy with either. While the Kobo offers more features, you would be saving a fair bit of money with the Sony, so in my mind both are great purchases.
I hope I have managed to help you a bit, and not confuse you.
