I got Kobo mini few days ago on 22/11/2012 at my Cobourg - Coles - Northumberland Mall
price just right... $49.99
... hope for love at first side... but no luck...
but it have few problems
1. problems reading my pdf files - could not open any of my pdf files
2. inside the box I see offer first book 90% off - never receive this offer 90% off - first book- when I activated my Kobo mini... never receive it on my Kobo screen or in my email account - when I call Kobo support line and ask where is my 90%off coupon for my first book- I got reply if you did not receive this offer/coupon it's your problem , not a Kobo problem...
3. ghosting of the prev. pages still on the screen after page turn...
4. Wifi indicator gives error...on the screen 1 bar, even my other Wifi devices show strong Wifi connection 4-5 bars on the screen...
Kobo mini price is right, but I would not recommend it for day to day use... for reading pdf files, Kobo mini for kids maybe, Anyway after trying loading and changing/modifying/converting my pdf files for few days and could not get them to work or open them inside my Kobo mini - I decided - Kobo mini not for me, as I do value my time - today 26/11/2012 I call - Cobourg - Coles - Northumberland Mall the and ask if I could return my Kobo mini - got reply - if you open box - our policy no return/or refund... as I could not use Kobo mini to read my pdf files or return for refund... I got myself a nice $49.99 plus tax door stopper... please note - I do know - per Canadian law any retail place- do not have to accept returns or request for refund... on open or un-open items... maybe other will have better luck with Kobo mini... I do not... Nor I recommend Kobo mini to others due to the lack or quality of the Kobo customer service and ability to read user created pdf files... or clearly defined return/refind policy on the Coles receipt...
