Just two main thoughts from my perspective:

If you read as slowly as I do, you're not turning pages too often; it's just right for my speed/requirements... I just bought a PRS-650 so that I could try a bigger screen and honestly I don't really notice much difference when I'm immersed in a book. My go-to device is still the Mini, and it fits easily in my small purse.

I don't use the Mini for reading PDF's - that's what my computer is for. So, for my needs again (plain books), it's just right.

So... The Kobo Mini is probably only a "good" device for a specific section of the eReader customer demographic... namely people like me, who don't want to invest the full price into a device because they aren't 100% convinced they'd use it (and maybe weren't ever avid book-readers)... but now, I find reading books much easier and more enjoyable, all thanks to my Mini.
