Yes. It was still living on with the 5'' Pocketbook 360 plus (new) though. Kobo will charge 79,- EUR over here for the Mini whereas the PB 360 plus is more expensive still. - Mind you: As was to be expected, Kobo ditched the micro-SD-card-slot on the Mini so you are tied to your main PC or go to their shop directly via WLAN. The PB 360 plus has WLAN and a micro-SD-card-slot, which leaves more choice in handling.

Yes, seems to be 800x600 (Thats a least what heise.de (german) says here in the table, though kobo itself isn't specific about this here. (german site).
