End of an era.
Since my first Kobo Clara HD in *checks notes* 2019, the email receipt for my Kobo purchases always came from "Walmart eBooks". This is despite my never having had a Walmart eBooks account: I setup a direct Kobo account the day I got it--but because I purchased the first Kobo from walmart.com, it somehow got that vendor flag set. Even when I later got a Sage from a different vendor, or when I started purchasing all of my books through the Kobo Android app, the Walmart eBooks header remained (even though the email address was always noreply@kobo.com). The Wal-Mart/Kobo partnership dissolved some time ago, but still, my receipts came from Walmart eBooks.

I purchased something today, and the email receipt still comes from noreply@kobo.com...but the sender now says just "Kobo".

So long, Wal-Mart.

You almost gave me a heart attack. When I saw your thread title, I thought Kobo had officially discontinued black-and-white ereaders larger than 6" or something. Whew.

I'm too old to read titles like that. I also was disturbed!

From the US POV, it seems as if the Sage has been discontinued. It's been impossible to buy one here for so long that I assume it'll never be available again.
