The Kobo Mini Appears to Have Been Quietly Discontinued

April 29, 2014 by Nathan Groezinger

Kobo Family Picture

The Kindle DX isn’t the only ebook reader that has gone missing recently. The Kobo Mini has also seemingly been discontinued, without a word as to why. A complete opposite of the large-screen Kindle DX, the Kobo Mini is a diminutive ebook reader with a small 5-inch screen. I reviewed it back in November 2012 […]

Kobo Mini Gets a Price Drop – Is it Being Phased Out?

November 13, 2013 by Nathan Groezinger

Kobo Mini

Somewhere along the line, and it wasn’t too recently because I can recall seeing it a few weeks ago, the Kobo Mini received what appears to be a permanent price drop down from $79 to $59. That’s the price listed on Kobo’s website, anyway. And there’s no indication that it’s on sale. $59 is also […]

October 8, 2013 by Nathan Groezinger

kobo-mini-insides

There’s a little-known trick to expand the available storage space on Kobo ebook readers, including the Kobo Aura HD, the Kobo Glo, Kobo Mini, and Kobo Touch (sorry the Kobo Aura is left out). The reason why this is possible is because Kobo’s ebook readers have microSD cards built in for the internal storage (except […]

September 30, 2013 by Nathan Groezinger

Kobo Patcher

Kobo’s ebook readers have settings for customizing line spacing and margins, but there are annoying limitations at times, especially when it comes to all the wasted space Kobo insists on using at the top and bottom of the screen to display the title of the ebook and the page numbers. The title takes up about […]

July 5, 2013 by Nathan Groezinger

Kobo Night Mode

I came across an interesting trick at MobileRead the other day for Kobo’s line of E Ink ebook readers—the Kobo Glo, Kobo Mini, Kobo Touch, and Kobo Aura HD—to get them to display white text on a black background instead of the usual black text on a white(ish) background. It’s a straightforward trick that doesn’t […]

Kobo eReader Tip: Calibre Settings for Minimizing Wasted Space

June 17, 2013 by Nathan Groezinger

Kobo Formatting Tip

If you’ve read any of my reviews for Kobo eReaders lately, the Kobo Mini, Kobo Glo, and Kobo Aura HD, you’ll notice that I complain a lot about how Kobo chooses to format ebooks. My main issue is with all the wasted space. Kobo insists on adding a huge bar at the bottom of a […]

Kobo Now Selling eReaders and Tablets Direct Online Again

April 2, 2013 by Nathan Groezinger

Kobo announced the launch of a revolutionary new concept today. They’ve finally decided to enter the 21st century and start selling their Kobo ereaders and tablets directly from Kobo.com. Gasp! Kobo used to sell the Kobo Touch and Kobo Vox from their website, but inexplicably removed the buy option last fall right before the busy […]
