Verdict

Overall, the Kobo mini is a great option for those looking for a small and portable e-reader. Its size makes it easy to carry around, but some users have noted that the screen and text quality are not as good as other e-readers on the market. The battery life is also not as long as some other e-ink devices. However, for those who are looking for a budget-friendly option, the Kobo mini can be a good choice, especially if it is purchased on sale. It is important to note that the Kobo mini is no longer available new, but it can still be found used.

Verdict

The Onyx Boox Nova 3 is a great device for those who need to read manga, PDFs, and other documents. It is small enough to be portable and powerful enough to be used as a tablet. It has a long battery life and can last up to three days of heavy note taking or one week if only used for reading ebooks. The Koreader app makes it perfect for PDFs and the Neoreader app makes it great for manga. The colour readers have degraded B/W quality, so if you're looking for something with sharpness, this is the device for you.
