Well, early "back to school" sales have started and still no rumor about Kobos in Walmarts (or online). Christmas?

I don't know of anything official, but there seems to be some preparation by ebook distributors who are letting self-publishers know what they need to do to ensure their books will be presented properly in Walmart's ebook store.

This post is suggesting one month from now, August 21.as the launch date.

No Mother's Day is the day school starts.
Teacher's Day is the day after the school year ends.

I asked the guy in electronics a couple weeks ago about the kobo, if he had heard any thing. He said no, but said that they were doing a whole reset of the electronics section around the first week of August. I realize this means absolutely nothing, but maybe they will be added in when they re-set? For reference, the college here starts Aug. 21st, and I think the K-12 start the next week after that, maybe week and a half. Sorry, no little kids any more so I just don't know!

Thanks. I'm looking forward to Walmart selling Kobos and Kobo eBooks. I don't know why, I'm not really in the market for either, but I like the idea of another eReader outlet and more choice.

The original announcement seemed to indicate that it was going to be all stores and online as well. I believe they will be co-branding the Kobo name with Walmart for the eBook sales.

Good info. The post mentions e-books will be sold by Walmart starting Aug 21 but doesn't say whether Kobo readers will be included in the launch. Guess we'll find out in a month.

If the Walmart-Kobo deal takes off, that could be the nail in the coffin for B&N's e-book business.

I was in Walmart this morning and saw the "ads" they have as you walk into the store had one with what looked like an ereader and a phone with a "Walmart Books" app open on it.
