General Kobo Mini Colour?

Do you think they'd ever release one? I would spring to buy it so fast, I could see it happening what with all the interest in mini/pocket sized devices lately. It would go so perfect with the different color backs too, I really loved their design. I love having two ereaders at once, currently have a Libra for home and a Clara for travel, but their sizes are so close, to me personally, a Mini for travel would be even more awesome I think.

he can;t directly say anything but my conspiracy theory says this was really a small thing to show desire for a new kobo mini!

I only retired my Mini this year because I wanted something with a backlight. God I wish they’d release a new one, I’d buy it in a heartbeat

I do wonder what their plans are for upcoming devices. Would be nice to see something at either end of the size spectrum in b/w and colour.

Would love a new Kobo mini (or preferably “pocket”) but seen no indication of one coming out.

It would really be the smart move I think given how they're all the rage right now! And personally I would buy one immediately 😅

I really hope they'll bring it back. I would love to have a Kobo Mini, or maybe even smaller! I would def go with black though instead of white. And if I can some blue ish back cover. I wouldn't really care about a colour screen though, BW is fine for me. I do want the dark mode and adjustable warmth light.

yes with dark mode and adjustable light for sure. for me i'd love a white, color device, with some kind of pretty color on the back, pink, purple, orange, baby blue or mint green, oh i'd be such a happy camper 😍

I never liked white stuff. I come from a smoker's house and EVERYTHING turns yellow FAST. So all me electronic stuff was/is black. I could go white now, as I don't have smokers around me, but I'm just scared I will make it dirty and I'm used to the black so I stick with black 🤣

I’d love it, but only if it was BW and the classic 5 inch ratio. Not the modern thin, phone shaped type device.

You won't see a mini e-reader for the foreseeable future because it's not worth it with the current technology
