The display models I've seen are either broken, or were never set up. It looks like they're happy to sell online. Not exactly the threat to Amazon they touted when this alliance was announced.

Well, that is kind of what I was trying to say more or less before IssyBird gently accosted me like Bolshevik Commissar. Most of the demographic that shops at walmart are of a social class that does not read books or at least not a lot of books.
The average number of books each person read over the course of a year was 12…but that number is inflated by the most avid readers. The most frequently reported number was 4 books per year.
Of course, there's plenty of variation among demographics. Certain groups read more, or less, than the country as a whole.
The middle classes undoubtedly read more than the working classes on average and Walmart is more of a working class kind of store.
It makes no sense for Walmart to put Kobos on display since way more of the tablets on display would sell.
To me this is all just common sense.
