I also realized that there may never be a reader this small ever again. Despite rumors that Kobo might release a successor to the Mini, their recent trend has been devices with large screens.

I always kind of kicked myself for not getting a Mini when they used to sell them at Best Buy (or when they were clearing them out on eBay). But, until I held one, I didn't expect they would be so small and light. But there's an even smaller one, the Trekstor Pyrus/Liro Mini with a 4.3" screen, that I would love to get – but I'm guessing that's not going to happen in the U.S. If you go to these reviews ...

... you'll see how small they are, even compared to a Kobo Mini. There was someone selling these on Mobile Read, but they wouldn't ship to the U.S. (darn the luck).
I've got the Kobo Light also. I use it mostly on my Touch, but it will work (sort of) on the Mini. It will grip on much better if you remove the removable back cover, but I don't know how often you'll want to take that cover off and put it back on.
My Kobo Mini is just using the Publisher font (for this particular book) in these pictures, but I've got the Full Page hack enabled so I don't have that extra space at the bottom. (Pictures taken in "subdued" interior lighting.)
