Allegedly, Kobo users won't be able to use their Walmart account to login to their device as of 31 October 2024.

I bought one of the Walmart Aura2. I never used a Walmart login. In fact, I never used it as a reader. It's quite a slim device when compared to B&N of the same generation.

I had bypassed the first setup page at one point in the past. Recently, it just did a hiccup and a "factory reset". I don't think that I've ever had it connected to the internet. I did put a UART connector in the back. You can run Linux executables on it. You can build them on the same system as Raspberry Pi.

My Clara HD was purchased through Walmart. I never used the Walmart sign-in option, but all of my Kobo emails still come from "Walmart ebooks," even the ones I buy directly through the Kobo app or website. I wonder if that will change after the partnership ends.

Also, I assume Walmart.com will stop selling the Walmart eBooks gift cards soon. That will be a bummer, since it was my preferred method of loading up my Kobo account balance for purchasing books overseas.
