I find it a bit odd that Walmart did not, at least, continue to offer Kobo, sinc IN STORE sales and support were almost non-existent (Minimal working displays, if any). Both of mine had to be ordered for pickup. So why not still offer Branded Kobo Books Gift cards and online book sales.

How much server space does the Catalog take?

Any profit is still PROFIT (I studied my Ferengi rules of acquisition

)

There is still the issue of convincing Readers, that an e-reader is just a convenient to use book. (

I offered one of my devices to my sister who had stacks of paper books, to try. Nope! She was not alone in this refusal.

I never understood.)
