I understand that. I'm just saying the signs don't look good for this partnership. I'm guessing (have no way of knowing) that Kobo is contracted to sell for less to Walmart and, since supply is short, have opted to ship their Kobos to where they can make more money.

Michael Tamblyn (Kobo CEO) is the one who originally announced the Walmart/Kobo deal, but it probably went higher than him, so you might be right about this. I just expected better.
