Resistance is futile. I just know I'll get it, it's a matter of time. I have such strong will power that it does what it wants

Oooh, thanks; I'll be waitiing.

Here you can see both of them:



And here you can see it with the Tuff-Luv cover (light and nice fit):

Nice pictures Teresa. Checked the Tuff Luv website to expensive to send here to the United States . The pound to dollar rate stinks and the shipping is high.

Have a great day.

Sorry, it's not too expensive to Spain (and no taxes).

Those of you thinking of picking up the Mini..do it. I just got the last one at my local Best Buy. I was actually in there to buy a radio( getting ready for Hurricane Sandy) and decided to look at the ereaders.

This cute little fella was sitting there all by his lonesome on the shelf. He looked so small and alone that I decided to adopt him.

I have several other readers as well. But, I had a good experience with the Kobo Touch and the Mini will fit nicely in my smaller purses and my nurses jacket at work. It's very tiny but perfectly readable. The one I got was white..

Poked around a Mini today while I was at Best Buy (managed to successfully avoid buying a tablet - a very hard task :P). Getting a comfortably-sized font on it proved next to impossible without cutting down the amount of text on the page to maybe half what would display on my Touch. :/

I am curious to find out why you chose the white one. It's a lovely color and my favorite BUT it tricks my eyes, as an optical illusion making the screen grayer than it actually is. The black bezel makes the screen white. I really hope my eyes couldn't be tricked like that because white is stunning.

I choose white bezels because:
(1) I like the white bezel, seems to blend more to create a continuous page. Black would distract me. However, black does offer more contrast, the page will appear whiter.
(2) Black bezels usually show fingerprints more.
(3) I'm just sick of black hardware.

Hm, my Mini seems to ignore its own settings for margin and line spacing on a lot of epubs, in odd ways. At least one set of epubs with margins set to 0.2em insists on having no left or right margin at all. What's up with that?

My first ebay case arrived and it doesn't fit. Length is fine, it's almost 1/2" too narrow. If I get desperate, I'll get some black elastic and modify it.

It's a shame, the case actually feels pretty good.

[mycurlylocks]

I guess my next try will be from the Navitech line, they have several colors in it, but I couldn't find it on Amazon.ca.

The Tuf Luv case is available on ebay and ebay.ca, but I don't want purple.

While snooping through ebay (which always gets me in trouble) I found a vendor that hand makes the cases. If I had to pay $29.99 for a case, I'd probably try one of these. I always love the bright colors and patterns anyway.

Too bad! That means mine won't fit either...I haven't received mine yet (I had ordered the exact same one) however, I have just ordered a new phone with a 4.8" screen so maybe that will fit into it; it's the right height
