We’ll have to wait and see if the retailer and its Japanese partner can dominate Kindle stores. Rakuten Kobo recently announced its intention to break into the US market and take on Amazon Kindle for eReader market dominance, with a little help. With Kobo, Walmart sees a chance to market an alternative to the Kindle.
Walmart was forced years later to compete in new markets, began building dynamic partnerships with technology companies and turning everything from an Amazon Prime competitor into a strong caterer network. Although it’s less about entering into the e-book market as most of their buyers buy a complete alternative to Amazon in their departmental stores such as large boxes of bricks, mortars, and furniture.Īs we all know, both the companies have different customer bases, but that’s common in this changing digital era as Amazon also expanded its boundaries with groceries, thanks to its wide choice of products and fastest delivery methods. This is an open question to everyone, whether any of this initiative by the two companies will be able to slice away Amazon’s hold over the e-book market, with Kindle covering more than 80 percent of all US market sales. By this way, users can access titles without a traditional Kobo e-reader, similarly like you can access all books and title of Amazon books store in Kindle software.
