Yep. Usually, MLK, Mother’s Day, Prime Day and holidays is when Amazon offers the highest discounts.

I expect most in the US equate Kindle with ebook reader. The average reader/non-techie likely doesn’t know the Kobo brand even exists.
Meanwhile, you can find Kindles at Target, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. They’re also regularly featured on Amazon’s banners, the largest online shopping site in the US.
I know Walmart and Kobo supposedly have a partnership but I actually haven’t been to a Walmart that actually carried Kobo readers. Walmart really isn’t doing anything to promote Kobo readers.
