Odd the mini is still listed on their Canadian site, however it is out of stock (list price is 49.99). Retail stores still have many in stock in either colour so if one wanted one, now is the time to get one.
I have been using mine exclusively for books borrowed from the library the only problem I have is the sleep cover has somewhat discoloured the back panel of the reader, and of course ADE (adobe digital editions) is a steaming pile of crap software that crashes regularly. As the back panel is removable I can replace it and the problems with ADE are entirely Adobe's fault.
A light would be nice as would a higher resolution screen and an expansion slot as well, I hope that Kobo makes another one mini sized that offers those features.
