What *is* very nice, over the smaller Clara model, is that with the Libra Colour, you get Dropbox and Google Drive access natively. Built-in, out of the box ready. And that is so VERY useful for sideloading content without getting out a USB cable. It is a feature I personally use all the time.
The capability can be added to a Clara device via Nickel Menu and a bit of fiddling, but that might be more than you want to fuss with to have it.
And I truly doubt you'll find any Kobo devices at Walmart. They weren't thick on the ground even when the Kobo/Walmart association was active. My local store put up a display, but never hooked it up to electricity. The display didn't last long before they pulled it out.
So, yeah, you could "see" a Kobo device, and put your hands on one, but it wasn't, in any way, active. Just the case and a blank e-ink screen, LOL!

Morning Graycyn, I'm going down to Walmart this a.m. but more for some other needs. I will see what they have, but think you are probably right about actually getting to see what others are like
I suprisingly got my Kobo delivered about 4 or 5 yesterday. I took sort of a brief look, didn't take off the nice celaphane on the screen though. That was in the way of some of the lower items on the screen as it had tiny black printed something I didn't look at closely.
What I missed right off was the seeing my apps I can have on my kindle at home-screen. Buttons don't do much, I had to find out "where" to tap the screen, center to get home-finally from inside a book from libby.
I don't know, but the side-loading was something I really would like to have. I don't see so I'm way glad you mentioned that option being on the Libra??
I'm seriously thinking to stay with the kindles, just because I'm not sure now at all. I've used them a long time, since the little 7" came out at 50 bucks. They've never failed me, but finally are running out of juice now, but still working well enough for reading.
I'll chime in again when I know a bit more, but can't thank you enough for all the extra info this a.m.,
