Kobo Mini dropped to $40 in Kobo Webstore
I just noticed that the Mini has been marked down to $39.99 until the 18th in the online Kobo store.

Excellent...yes, it looks like it has been dropped across most retailers up here in Canada. They must be trying to push it before the next models come out. I wonder if they'll bring out a new Mini 5"... A Mini Glo, perhaps?

Kobo will assimilate everyone with that price!
If I didn't already have a Mini, I'd order one ASAP. A Mini Glo....sign me up. I know I'd be tempted. |

Now I am torn between caving and getting a Mini to always have on hand, or waiting and seeing if a Mini Glo comes out.

I would get one....and sell it when the lighted comes out. What if it doesn't? This is their budget model, so they might not. Though I think they would sell a ton, if they did.

If they DO release a Glo Mini, I don't think it will be at the $40 price point...

Read what happened to me when I tried to buy one from their website, link below. Not an isolated incident. Still waiting to hear back from Kobo.

Good to know; I found I'd been double-charged. I sent an email and am waiting for a response; I'll also contact my bank and let them know I may be challenging one of the payments.

Family Christian Bookstore has them. I would likely purchase from them instead of risking a double or triple charge from Kobo directly.

Those that have been double charged, thanks for posting that in this thread too. I truly hope you get it resolved. That definitely dampens my enthusiasm.
Powell's is sold out. The nearest Family Christian is several hours away in Bend. I may swing by Best Buy (*cringe*) or Target and see if they happen to carry them. |
