I live in a fancy, high-end neighborhood. The only place I ever feel the need to lock my car doors is when I go to Walmart.

I do understand the Walmart deal from Kobo's end. You have to go where the people are. Walmart is a very large chain that all manner of people go to. And since Walmart wants so badly to compete with Amazon, they are likely to be more supportive of Kobo.

I do hope it is a success. I try to avoid Walmart like the plague, but I will be checking out the Kobos when they arrive and will likely buy my next one from them.
Maybe it's a US thing? I've never heard of Wallmart being associated that much with sketchyness in Canada. Cheap stuff that break quick, yes; but not sketchyness.
