Bigger selection because the cards for a specific book can be exchanged for anything else of the 1000's availlable online? It is like saying that Walmart now has a bigger selection of food, because they sell gift cards for Applebees's.

It is a start I guess, and the gifter might feel smug to have picked a great book not knowing it got exchanged behind their back to something else.
It also looks like that display is in Canada. Will the Walmarts in the US be getting this, too?
