I bought a Kobo Aura 2 at a Walmart a few years ago.
I travel a lot and see a lot of Walmarts. Only a few stores had the Kobos and it was all just a cardboard SKU you had to take to the lockup. In the past I bought a lot of stuff from Walmart with in-store pickup. I mean truck front-end parts from Moog and computer motherboards. I don't know if they cut down on that. Every time I consider a purchase I check to see if Walmart does in-store pickup. Recently, it never seems to be offered. |

I bought an Aura 2 (in store) at Walmart also. And I bought my Clara for pick up at Walmart. I like that Walmart used to be a Kobo dealer. I wish the Rakuten partnership had stayed in effect.

Kobo gift cards (as Walmart e gift cards) are no longer available for purchase at Walmart.com.
I was still able to get gift cards there as late as September. |

Well that sucks, I hope they pick another USA retailer! Actually we can purchase directly from Kobo https://us.kobobooks.com/products/eb...ift-card?gQT=1
God bless Google! |

End of an era. Guess I'll be using PayPal moving forward when I've gotta make an overseas purchase.

Well the walmart deal was a joke. KOBO section was hidden from sight and the employees did not even know what an ereader was SMH and the good models had to be ordered and were not in store not to mention no advertisement of the product being at walmart
