Kobo's Mini isn't a tablet

2013-01-28
I'm David Carr no way executive editor sitcom and I'm here with the kobo mini five its claim to fame is that is the smallest EA creador with a 5-inch screen and a weight of only four point seven ounces the plusses for this ereader are that it is indeed small I can fit in a lot of pockets it also has a touchscreen and its price point at $79 is affordable that said it does have a slightly slower processor than some of the step-up models like the Kobo Glo which has a built-in light and some of the kindle and nook models this has an 800 megahertz processor so it isn't quite a zippy the page turns aren't quite as fast but it's certainly an acceptable ereader and while the e-ink screen isn't the latest generation and isn't super contrast e you can fiddle with the fonts on these kobo's and get a pretty nice clear font with these this has an 800 x 600 display so certainly on a smaller display this is going to be fine for most people again this is not one of the more premium Erie ders and the only reason I can see you getting it is that you want a smaller ereader that does fit in a pocket it is certainly cute it comes in a couple different colors and you can interchange the backs a couple other small things worth matching this does come with two gigabytes of built-in memory some of that's used up for the operating system but does store around a thousand books and it does get about a month of battery life if you turn the Wi-Fi off this is a Wi-Fi only ereader and there is no expansion slot for more memory so nothing terribly exciting about the cedar except its size and if you like its size it is worth considering otherwise there are certainly other options at this price range including models from amazon and barnes and noble i'm david carr know and that's the Kobo mini 5-inch thanks for watching
