2015. Kobo Mini e-Reader available again for a limited time
Kobo is reintroducing its 5-inch Kobo Mini e-reader for $49, but it will only be available until November 7. The original model, released in 2012, used an outdated e-ink Vizplex, but this new version of the Mini features e-Ink Pearl. The Mini boasts a resolution of 800×600 pixels and offers the standard 16 levels of grayscale. This is a very compact device that fits easily into any pocket and is designed to be exceptionally lightweight and portable. While the screen may appear small to those accustomed to larger 6 or 9.7-inch tablets or e-readers, it is ideal for someone seeking extreme portability, a gift, or a backup device. The e-reader includes built-in wireless internet access, enabling you to download e-books directly from the Kobo bookstore.
2012. Kobo unveiles $80 Kobo Mini ereader
Promoted with the slogan "Small is a Big Deal," the new Kobo Mini is aimed at those seeking a pocket-sized device. The Kobo Mini features an E Ink screen for readability in direct sunlight. It comes with 2 GB of internal storage (though some units were shipped with 4 GB cards internally, which users may modify, potentially voiding the warranty, to access the unpartitioned space). A notable feature is SnapBacks (removable back covers) available in three colors at launch (Teal, Ruby Red and Purple) with the unique Kobo quilt pattern. The Kobo Mini is available in black and white. Kobo claims the battery lasts for a month, assuming 30 minutes of reading per day with Wi-Fi turned off. Charging the Kobo and transferring documents is done via the micro-USB port. The Kobo Mini is designed to compete with the basic Kindle and Nook Simple Touch, offering a similar price, identical screen resolution and storage. Its benefits include smaller dimensions and lighter weight.
