I am living in a middle class neighborhood but I have been to Walmart before.

I used to buy Kobo's until they joined with Walmart which I think was a dumb move for demographic reasons.


And being available through Walmart changed Kobos exactly how? Because you'd be embarrassed to say you got your eReader at Walmart?

Look, I don't like Walmart for its labor practices. But I would never, ever, clarify reading as a "middle class thing." It's overly hard on the monied classes.
