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.
