I'm guessing not the first week of August – at least not in stores (at least not stores in my area). We dropped by a Walmart yesterday and I checked the Electronics Department and saw no new floor plan changes and nothing yet in the book department with Kobo book displays. But I don't imagine it will take that long to clear a spot for both the books and devices.

Based on Wal-Mart's past performance with electronics, if they put Kobo ereaders on the shelf, and they don't sell fast enough, Wal-Mart will put them on discount. Keep your eyes open a few months from now and you might be able to grab a brand new Kobo at a bargain.

https://www.kboards.com/index.php/to...tml#msg3692066 Good-E-Reader's "news" came after it "broke" in this forum. It looks like the 21st might be the date, but it might just be rumor. Of course, if you Good-E-Reader keeps predicting the date, sooner or later it might be right. |

I wouldn't expect hourly employees to know anything about when new merchandise is going to be offered.
