So, Walmart is selling Kobo on their site, and the reviews of the devices are, well, maybe a little TOO glowing? For one thing, where did they get all these reviews from, since today is the first day the devices have been available to order from Walmart?

Further, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the new Clara HD was NOT waterproof? And if this is the case, then the review mentioning using the Clara HD *WHILE SNORKELING* seems patently false....

Don't get me wrong, I *love* my Kobo Aura One, but these reviews feel overly strong somehow.

CORRECTION: I missed that the reviewer said her experience with the Clara HD and the fishes was NOT reality, but it's still an odd review for a product that isn't mentioned as being waterproof in the first place....

In any case, these reviews have, to me, a distinct 'manufactured' feel. Several mentions of the Kobo store having a larger pool of books? Really? And there are mentions of Overdrive support, but I thought this was still restricted to the Aura ONE? Also saw someone stating the Clara HD was great for PDFs ... um, since when has any Kobo been great for PDFs out of the box?

Many of these reviews were supposedly written as part of a 'contest' making me wonder if the reviewers had even purchased or owned a device.
