I think teaming up with Walmart could prove to be a good move for Kobo. But why do you say Apple is a big winner in ebooks? Amazon won’t say how many ebooks they have sold but they have said Kindle versions now outsell both hardcovers and paperbacks. Apple, which regularly releases sales numbers for iPhones, iPads, etc, has given no recent numbers for iBooks. Speculation is that iBooks is, in fact, a bust. On the other hand, enhanced ebooks apps and ereaders apps like Kindle for iPad do help Apple sell their hardware. It will be interesting to see if Apple follows through in its threat and kicks those apps off their platform if retailers such as Amazon refuse to hand over 30% of each sale to Apple.

How many mobile handset brands do we have? India has 10+ and almost all are making money :)
