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 The original model, released in 2012, used an outdated e-ink Vizplex, but this new version of the Mini features e-Ink Pearl.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
Marketed with the slogan "Small is a Big Deal" the new Kobo Mini is targeted to those who wanted a pocket-sized device. Kobo Mini includes an E Ink screen for legibility in direct sunlight. It also included 2 GB of internal storage (although some units were shipped with 4 GB cards internally, which may be modified by the user, voiding any warranty, to gain access to the unpartitioned space). A distinguishing feature includes SnapBacks (removable back covers) available in three colors at launch (Teal, Ruby Red and Purple) with the distinct Kobo quilt pattern. Kobo Mini is available in two colours: black and white. Kobo claims the battery lasts for a month, assuming 30 minutes of reading a day and Wi-Fi turned off. Charging Kobo, as well as transferring documents, is accomplished with the micro-USB connecting port. Kobo Mini is intended to compete with the basic Kindle and Nook Simple Touch, with a similar price, identical screen resolution and the same amount of storage. Its advantages include the smaller dimensions and lighter weight.
