No problems at all — I'm flattered. I just wish I'd taken better pictures now. I thought this was going to be a "done deal" by morning. And I do wish I hadn't framed the picture of the Aura card with the $30 price tag for the case. People are going to think the Aura is selling for $30. (BTW, in case it matters, this store is in North Richland Hills, TX.)

I see GoodEReader's story is "exclusive."

I'm very curious how much of a difference the new processor mentioned in earlier posts will make. As far as screen refresh speed is concerned, I was under the impression that the bottleneck has been the E Ink Carta technology itself for many years now. Perhaps audiobook support is what justifies or necessitates the new processor?
I hate to say it, but the Bluetooth speculation might make sense as Walmart seems keen to push Audiobooks. (Unless there is something in the FCC filing that precludes Bluetooth?)

The Kindle Oasis 2 has been using an i.MX 7D, for people wondering what the impact on performance might be . (Given the lack of publicity/marketing around that fact, I'm going to go with: not much, especially given the fact the Kindle's OS would be *much* more friendly towards a multi-core CPU than Nickel).

Nonetheless, if that holds true, it's still a pleasant news .

Pretty sure you're misreading the Bluetooth mentions.

They were good photos that made it pretty clear what Walmart were doing. But, I am starting to wonder if you need to change your location: "Aisle 5, Walmart, DFW, TX"

Oh, heck no, that's Stew the Gizzard Scooper's Aisle. (He doesn't realize people don't have gizzards, so he spends a lot of time trying to find them with that sharpened scoop of his. Mostly he thinks they're eyes.) He's been camped there since he and his associates routed Tattoo Sally's Inkster gang in a fierce, four day, drool and snarl fest. No one messes with "the Gizzard." No one. Ever. (Not that I wouldn't mind taking over Aisle 5 ... some day — we can dream, can't we?)
