Yes. The Mobileread wiki lists it as Vizplex. Every site I ever visited listed it as Vizplex. I don't accept that the 2012 model was Pearl. It's possible that the new unicorn Mini has a pearl screen, that E-ink is now producing the 5" Pearl film. I'd still like to receive the 2015 Mini with a Pearl screen. I don't want the 2012 Vizplex Mini.

Kobo's official statement:
Quote:
The Kobo Mini eReaders that were sold from November 3 to 7 in Canada and the US were devices produced for retail store demo environments. Although the eReaders were unused and in original, sealed packaging, the description onKobo.com should have explicitly stated that they were demo devices. This was an error and it was not Rakuten Kobo’s intention to mislead customers. As such, those who bought the Kobo Mini will automatically receive a full refund for the device and shipping costs, and are welcome to keep the device if they wish. Rakuten Kobo apologizes for this unfortunate error and is working quickly to get booklovers back to reading.

That is very nice to know. I do hope this will be the case. I hope people will post here when they get their refunds.

I filed a claim through Visa. The one I received has a shorter battery life than the one I'm using.

I've already gotten a refund through Visa. Visa will collect the money from Kobo.

Last time I asked for a book refund, instead of returning the money to my credit card, they refunded as store credit. I did not want to take a chance of the store credit again.

I took the red back out of the package. It's not a snap back. it fits over the whole back of the Mini. I like it!

The back is the same thing that came with Mini bundles that QVC had a special on awhile back. I believe it was a choice of white or black Mini with red or black silicone back covers. It's alright, but a nice grey sleepcover it isn't.

I'm thinking of buying a cover on Ebay ($5 to $15)..

I looked at them on eBay but it seemed to me that they all were either folio types shipped from China or they had corner straps and shipped from the UK.

Which one(s) were you considering?

This one, maybe. It's not as nice as the one we're supposed to have but it is a sleepcover.

That's the one I was considering. They have it listed on Amazon also. Going to wait until Kobo issues that refund first though, just in case I end up having to return the Mini to them.
