The iPad mini is exactly 7.9" in size, so if anyone's wondering how the new Kobo reader will compare in size to all the 6" models, search for a comparison between the iPad mini and any of the 6" readers out there. Just keep in mind that the Kobo's display is 0.124" (~3.15mm) smaller than the iPad mini.
The Aura ONE is surprisingly similar in size to the iPad Mini isn't it? However readers used to holding their readers in one hand should note that the Aura ONE is 85% the weight of the iPad Mini. (About 50g.)
