Two things I noted about the Clara HD sold on Walmart. Although I couldn’t get any page to load for the Clara (it took me to a general ebook landing page), the device is listed with a rating and several reviews. Is Walmart populating the rating and reviews from some other non-Walmart site? How can Walmart customers review a device they can’t yet buy?
Also, it says 2-day shipping, with free pickup in store. Nothing about store availability yet. I hope they actually have demo models in the stores, and aren’t just offering to drop ship the device to buyers. Maybe it’s just too early for it to be in the stores’ merchandise inventory system yet.
And although there is no news yet on other readers yet either, indicating it’s a slow rollout and early yet, the only cases shown online for the Clara HD are 3rd party offerings. I hope they will sell actual Kobo cases as well.
