New Kobo Mini (sealed retail) with OEM SleepCover
These have been sold on Shop Goodwill in the past. This one is London, ONT, Canada, so the shipping should be cheaper for Canadian bidders (about $20 if shipped to Idaho). It's an auction and there's six days left. Just thought if someone was looking for a new Kobo Mini they might want to know about this one. I have no idea how well the battery lasted during its long storage. I'm guessing the Mini won't go cheap.

Current bid is only $9!
The screen is old-tech, it's slow, there's no light.... But still, I LOVE my Mini. I would buy an updated version in a heartbeat. Put a Clara-style screen and current software in a Mini-sized package? What's not to love? |

The main reason I would bid for this bundle is for the OEM sleep cover. (Don't worry, I'm not bidding. I need to be selling, not buying.) Last edited by rcentros; 05-13-2020 at 09:55 PM. |

IMO, the OEM sleep cover for the Mini is so bulky it obviates the point of the Mini. In comparison to the Glo HD in its OEM cover, the Mini is fatter, as wide, and only slightly shorter.

Do you know if there is (or was) a nice case for the Mini – or did most people just use them case-less? |
