Your post tells me one thing. People in your area don't buy books at Walmart.
Perhaps you do not understand how media is stocked at your local Walmart.
There is a company that does all of Walmart's media. They look at the demographics and what actually sells. We kept our tiny book and magazine section but they took out over 50% of the movies and TV shows. They just didn't sell well at that Walmart. The big seller there is video games. They also took out most of the computer games.
Note: The books are only the best sellers.
What I have noticed is Walmarts by the interstate have more media including books than in town Walmarts.
This is based on the extensive research of one person who has visited numerous Walmarts and has 4 in her area. North has better media, South and East are well stocked and have more choices in grocery. West is the little store where you might or might not get what you need. HEB moved into pretty much the next parking lot and is on the corner of two main streets. It is now easy to get into that Walmart, the HEB go early and hope for a parking place.
