My Clara HD was shipped via UPS to a US address. Signature was required for acceptance.
That,s good maybe if I order online the damn thing will actually get delivered properly if its signature required

I just did a search for "Kobo" on the Walmart U.S. site and the Clara HD came up as sold by Walmart. However, when I click on the link, it takes me to the ebooks page.

I saw the same thing. They must be in the middle of launching all the pages on the site.

Sorry. Two other Walmarts in my area didn't have them yet either. They must not be making their big push yet — or they're behind schedule. Hopefully it doesn't mean there is only going to be Kobo displays in select stores.


I'd almost be willing to bet our Walmart won't have a display, but hoping of course I'm wrong about that.

Good luck. Employees seem clueless which is perplexing for they were vamping up for this for a long time now

I'm guessing they don't even know. They get new stock in, a new floor plan and they just follow instructions and set it up.

Hubby had to go there today, he saw absolutely zero sign of any e-reader display. Of course, they might roll it out to some stores later than others....

Two things I noted about the Clara HD sold on Walmart. Although I couldn’t get any page to load for the Clara (it took me to a general ebook landing page), the device is listed with a rating and several reviews. Is Walmart populating the rating and reviews from some other non-Walmart site? How can Walmart customers review a device they can’t yet buy?



Also, it says 2-day shipping, with free pickup in store. Nothing about store availability yet. I hope they actually have demo models in the stores, and aren’t just offering to drop ship the device to buyers. Maybe it’s just too early for it to be in the stores’ merchandise inventory system yet.

And although there is no news yet on other readers yet either, indicating it’s a slow rollout and early yet, the only cases shown online for the Clara HD are 3rd party offerings. I hope they will sell actual Kobo cases as well.

I think they're including feedback for sales from other sellers. If you to the Walmart.com/Ebooks site now (it's up) you'll see the Aura has four sellers -- Walmart is not even the featured seller, it's someone who is selling Aura for $93.93.

https://www.walmart.com/product/621781419/sellers

EDIT: The seller who was selling the Auras for $93.93 is now sold out, so there are only three vendors for the Aura now.

Here's the current listing for the Clara ... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kobo-Clara-HD/848940265

For me, it is ease of return. I think I'll be fine buying an Aura One or Clara HD, but I've read of enough problems that I don't want any hassles if I need to do a return.

My experiences with Kobo weren't the most straight forward, compared to most internet companies.

Fair enough. Still, I'd rather have a device shipped directly to me from the manufacturer, as opposed to something that's been through the WalMart supply chain.
