Wal-Mart being America’s biggest supermarket chain selling everything at low prices, has settled to a conclusion to end selling Amazon‘s distinct Kindle devices in their stores.
What’s the reason behind this? When you wonder, Amazon is essentially Wal-Mart. You will get your heart-filled devices from both Wal-Mart and Amazon as they’re magnificently price competitive including their popular brands. Hence why Wal-Mart will go ahead selling you Amazon’s devices when Amazon’s devices are only an entrance to Amazon’s huge online store which is absolutely a bad business?
But if you insert yourself in Wal-Mart’s shoes, you won’t like to sell a product that inspires people to do shopping from their homes and not from your stores! Another chain frequently billed as ‘upscale’ version of Wal-Mart has recently said ‘no’ to selling Amazon’s Kindles.
What will be the influence on Android tablet ecosystem? A Kindle might roll on Android, but it’s not exactly the same version of Android we all have come across and basically like it. Referring to the tablets from the likes of Samsung, ASUS and other companies, their performance is not that much well.
As most of the Wal-Mart and Target customers reside in suburbs, there’re high chances of them living near to an electronic store. Instead of one they have to visit to two stores if they want a Kindle, which is not that bad option!
