I bought one of the Walmart Aura2. I never used a Walmart login. In fact, I never used it as a reader. It's quite a slim device when compared to B&N of the same generation.
I had bypassed the first setup page at one point in the past. Recently, it just did a hiccup and a "factory reset". I don't think that I've ever had it connected to the internet. I did put a UART connector in the back. You can run Linux executables on it. You can build them on the same system as Raspberry Pi.
