Kindles are the only thing I've seen at Best Buy in a long time. Plus, Best Buy has been closing a bunch of stores.

I've seen Saturn/MediaMart doing some retrenching, cutting down the number of floors in some of their stores.

Still, it can't compare with Fry's Electronics during its death knell.
You'd walk through a gutted store and ask and they'd say, "Oh, no, we're not closing".
You were kind of waiting for them to say, "Alright, would you get the heck out of here, we're trying to remove the fixtures."

The future's here today. Soon it will be impossible to buy anything locally.

I know I've mentioned this before... somewhere. I bought a Kobo Aura (2nd Ed.) from Walmart when they were on clearance. At first it just showed Kobo branding... then about a year later, it started showing WalMart branding (understandable)... but then (about a month before Walmart and Kobo "broke up") it started showing Bol. branding. And that's where it seems to be staying now. I'm not sure how Bol. got involved with this reader. It seem like that, now that WalMart have broken up, that it would have back to Kobo branding.

Does the affiliate in the config file still show Walmart or is it Bol. now?

[General]
affiliate=BOL

I'll change it to Kobo again and see if it sticks this time. It's not that big of a deal, just a curiosity. Why Bol.?
