Wal-Mart Backed VUDU Potential e-Book Giant?

Khabrein writes in Walmart VUDU: Walmart acquires VUDU, prepares to enter Ebook market that Walmart has acquired VUDU, a movie download service. While Khabrein speculates that Wal-Mart is preparing to enter the e-book market, I see this as more of a direct move against Netflix. This is however, Wal-Mart’s first foray into e-books and it will be interesting to see how they compete in this increasingly crowded field occupied by the Kindle, nook, Sony Reader, and now the iPad.
