In the .kobo directory there is a affiliate.conf file: You can change Your affiliation, You can write "affiliate=Kobo"

This trick is useful also if You want an update sooner than it is distributed for Your affiliation.

The Kobo arrived today from Walmart. That was some fast shipping.

One question. When the Kobo goes to sleep, it says:

"Walmart eBooks by Rakuten kobo."

Do they all say this, or just the Walmart model?

Is there some way to get rid of this?

Strange, I've never noticed this. I feel like if you're reading a book, it will show the cover of the book instead.

Plus, I have a magnetic case for my Kobo, so any time the case is closed, the screen immediately turns off.

The Walmart ones do definitely say Walmart when they are sleeping. I had to change the affiliate on mine, but it is very easy to do even for the non-techie.

If you don't see Walmart and you didn't change the affiliate, either:
  1. The sleep cover is hiding it so you don't notice
  2. You bought it online and it was a third party seller, not actually Walmart

If they can find one. If the staff knows what a NOOK is.
