Just a quick update or sitrep if you like.
Glo, plus two Touch devices loaded with books and manga.
I ditched the Mini due to battery requiring replacement, also small screen size inadequate for manga despite zoom function in latest firmware (which is great, and very good the Mini can run it). I used the plugin KoboTouchExtended (suggested by davidfor upthread) to load books from Calibre, and just dragged and dropped cbz files onto the device after optimising and processing with KCC.
I can report that family are pleased with their Kobo readers and all happily reading away.
