Back in the day, ereaders were sold in Best Buy, Target and even Walmart. But when that was common, Kobo wasn't really participating in the US.
And now of course, the only one left is Nook, sold only at Barnes and Noble and Kindle, which I'm pretty sure is only stocked in Best Buy because of all of Amazon's other tech offerings.

Not knowing when I might see the Clara HD I ordered, I'm starting to consider a Libra H2O or just wait a few weeks and for an Onyx Boox Poke 2 if they're available again by then. The latter's disappearance is probably for similar reasons as that of the Kobo devices at Walmart. I could order the Libra today from Kobo or Indigo, though it would probably be close to a couple of weeks before it shows up. By then, the Libra's arrival at Walmart would be imminent. But no sale price like with my Clara order and avoiding Walmart makes the Canadian approach more appealing, even with the hassles of a potential return.

I don't know much about Onyx Boox.
On the Libra vs. Clara I feel your pain on trying to decide if you want it now or if you want to spend wisely.
