Having shopped at Walmart in both countries, your assessment is accurate. Walmart Canada to me felt like a Target in the US. That is, a regular department/grocery store that both low and middle income people shop at. In the US most middle class people won't set foot in Walmart.

Bad idea if the rumored price is true. That's more than the Paperwhite and Nook cost. As a newcomer in the US market selling at a discount retailer, they need to be competitive on price. Otherwise people have no compelling reason to consider a Kobo over the much more popular Kindle.
