It doesn't look like it. The sheet that I found in August (last year) said that eBooks where going to have their own department code ("department" is probably not the right word) and it was supposed to happen some time in the middle of April. So I was kind of hoping they were going to ramp it up about now. Of course there is the new Walmart consumer tablet (supposedly competing with the Amazon Fire) coming out. Maybe they'll have another eBook push when that is released. As it stands now, what they've done is pretty pathetic.
