Walmart teaming up with Kobo

The indie author community is abuzz with the latest news: Walmart is partnering with Kobo to sell ebooks via Walmart's store:

Customers will be able to shop for e-books and audiobooks on Walmart's website, and the retailer will sell e-readers in its stores and online.

I have nothing against Amazon.  In fact, I love Amazon.  But healthy competition is good for both authors and readers, and this new corporate partnership looks promising.  And, frankly, it's about time Walmart got in the game.  They should have gotten serious about ebooks years ago.  But better late than never, I guess.  In any event, I'm cautiously optimistic.
