Did the Mini sell well enough to get an edition 2? I know they are popular with some forum members, but I seem to remember and awful lot of really good sales on them like Kobo was trying to move them out. How popular were they at full price I wonder.

I don't see any sign of a new screen resolution option in firmware 4.3.8871, for whatever that is worth.

Kobo mini came out when new models had front light, bigger screen, or maybe higher resolution while Kobo Mini only had smaller screen and lower price. I think it needed front light to have better sales. Kobo at that time was invisible in USA market and still is. My dentist saw my mini and bought one. 2 USA airmen saw mine in a Best Buy store and wanted to buy one.
