Kobo Claras $99.98 at Walmart

Just went off sale and not they're back on sale — and they've sweetened the deal by charging a whole penny less than last time. They just won't leave me alone.

Trying to figure why Walmart would go it alone this time.

You know you want one, since you don't have enough ereaders already

If you get one, you can laugh at all the suckers who fell for the sky high $99.99 price.

I refuse to dignify that absurd "accusation" with any response whatsoever.

If I did order one, hypothetically speaking, in the early hours of Wednesday, October 20th, I can somehow guess that it would be shipped from Reno via OnTrac and (hypothetically speaking) would be scheduled for delivery sometime on Thursday, October 21st (hypothetically speaking).

I would wonder, however, if such a purchase would be worth it, since one could save another 2 cents by buying the Kobo Nia — is the Clara really worth 2 cents more than the Nia?

That's quite the theory. Here's you deciding on if you should buy the Clara.

Those extra two cents are for the extra pixels*

I paid $129.99 when I bought my Clara two and a half years ago. I was a fool. A FOOL!

*Yes, ereaders don't use pixels. But 'extra dots' doesn't have the same zing.

Now you know what you need to do - buy the Nia too, so you can compare and report back!

IF an item goes on sale within 30 days of purchase take your receipt to Walmart they give you the difference back!

Problem solved!

I wonder if they would take a two and a half year old email

I'm pretty sure that they do.

That's about right. Well (hypothetically) a Clara arrived at my house at 11:22 A.M. — so slightly more than 35 hours from order to delivery (hypothetically).

My understanding is that because of the way e-ink works, dots per inch is more accurate thank pixels per inch. Though in the end, I don't really care enough about it to go into discussion. PPI, DPI, whatever makes an individual happy. We all know what is being discussed.

You must have wandered around your house with the package, singing "What's This?"
