It appears that just about anybody can sell Kobo eReaders in the U.S., so I don't know what this partnership with Walmart amounted to. At one point Amazon was even selling Kobos ("sold and shipped by Amazon"?).

I'm guessing that you should be okay with your Kobo order – maybe even the Walmart order eventually (if you still have that order in). Looks like Walmart is getting Formas and Libres at the end of the month, so maybe they'll be getting some Claras then as well.
