I'm pretty sure my local bookstore has a few in stock, or else they wouldn't have put out a demo unit to try. I'll keep that in mind.

The generational aspect isn't huge to me (my Kindle came out in 2010!) though I did note that the Kobo Mini does use an older generation of eInk screen according to the wiki. I don't know how accurate that is though.
