Starting Wednesday, the world's biggest retailer will officially launch Walmart e-books, a partnership with Rakuten Kobo, the digital book division of Japan's top e-commerce company.
In addition to choosing from among over 6 million electronic books, Walmart customers will now be able to participate in a new subscription service that will allow shoppers to get one audiobook a month for a monthly fee of $9.99.
And gift buyers will be able to pick up digital book cards at what will ultimately be 3,500 Walmart locations starting this week.
