Is this true? No more kobo Store in the Mini even though we update to mandatory firmware. Pocket too?
No, the headline is misleading. The Mini will work if it's updated. Meanwhile, my Kobo WiFi, my Sony PRS-2 and the App on my Blackberry Q10 will quit working. I can probably load an Android version of the app on my Blackberry, but I liked having native support.

EDIT: When I followed the link to Kobo, I noted the Mini is not on either list ("unaffected" or "dropping support"). But I'm pretty sure they wouldn't say an upgrade is necessary, just so they can cancel support for it.
