When I bought my Kobo Arc, it came with a free Kobo Mini.
The Mini is an eink reader, with a smaller screen. The 5 “ screen seems small,
but I was able to get comfortable with it, fairly quickly. If you’re familiar
with the Kobo Touch, it is the same, just a bit smaller. The battery is great,
it’s syncs very easy, and has the same user-friendly interface.
I do like the idea of interchangeable backs. I love
accessories and I think this is a great customizable feature. I’m still waiting
for the Kobo Arc, snapback’s to become available. Kobo has been selling a
book-style case for the Mini, and I’m hoping they will launch a sleeve line. It’s
so small, I think a sleeve would be great to out in your bag.
I think the Mini is a great option for someone who doesn’t
want to spend a lot of money on an eink reader. It’s 79$ and comes on sale
often. I can see myself using this one at the beach, as a backup reader. (I
have a Kobo Glo, and Kobo Arc) It’s also great because it’s so small, and can
fit in a smaller bag. If you have a tablet, but you plan to do some outdoor
reading, I think this is the perfect companion. The Kobo Mini would be a great eink reader for someone who just wants a smaller devise, or someone who doesn't want to invest a lot of money in a new reader.
If you have any questions about this reader, or Kobo in general- feel free to reach out to me.
I've seen these in Borders when those stores were still around; I'm glad that the death of the big box chain didn't take the Kobo with it.
ReplyDeleteIt actually sounds like a good size because it would fit in my purse.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound nice, and I like the size. Like Kathy says, a reader that fits in my purse would be great.
