Earlier in the week I was reminiscing about the 5-inch Kobo Mini and how Kobo should release a 2nd gen model.
I checked eBay to see if the Kobo Mini was still for sale anywhere but the search didn’t turn up anything good, just overpriced pre-owned ones.
But I did come across a store selling other older Kobo ebook readers for cheap.
They’re manufacturer refurbished units and they ship from Canada.
I haven’t seen the Kobo Glo HD for sale for awhile but they have it for $89.
Quite frankly it’s a better ereader than the current Kobo Aura 2. It has a better screen with 300 ppi. Kobo discontinuing it for the lower-end Aura 2 never made any sense whatsoever.
They also have the 6.8-inch Kobo Aura HD for $69 and the 1st gen Kobo Aura, the original flush screen ereader, is $69 too.
The oringal Kobo Touch is $39, but it was released all the way back in 2011 so that’s not really a very good price. But the Kobo Glo HD is still worth considering if you want a Kobo ereader.
I was fortunate enough to buy the 6.8-inch Kobo Aura HD for $89 used last year. For $69, it’s not a bad deal. I would recommend the item to anyone looking to try out a Kobo product for the first time.
The only problem with this item is that cases for it are expensive.
You can get cases cheap on AliExpress. Shipping takes time but they almost always deliver.
Haha, I live in Canada. You say these refurbished units ship from Canada. The first thing I saw on this link is that they do not ship TO Canada! Doh!
