Wikipedia says "Vizplex is sometimes used to refer to specifically the first-generation of the line, in order to distinguish it from further generations, though properly speaking, Pearl and Triton are also types of Vizplex displays, as indicated by the text "E Ink Vizplex" at the bottom of startup screens for those displays."
As they are being sold off (very) cheaply in the UK, I recently bought a Kobo Touch and then a Kobo Mini.
The Mini is fantastic for its size and weight. Truly pocket size so you can take it anywhere. In comparison to the Pearl screen on the Touch, though, the Vizplex screen on the Mini is not as good. A sort of greenish tint to the background, which I don't like as much as the more neutral grey on the Touch, and the text is noticeably not as dark and black on the Mini.
But the Mini is great if you want something you can carry around.
