recommendations feature provides individually tailored book
recommendations to the individual based on his or her interests and

to suit anyone; from library and page-turning customization to the
choice of 7 font styles with 24 font sizes and exclusive weight and
sharpness settings. People reading with Kobo can extend their reading
adventures online through Facebook by sharing their favourite books as
well as posting their favourite passages and reading stats. Perfect for
people on-the-go, young adults, and easy for kids to hold and read, the

A COLOUR TO SUIT EVERY STYLE
The Kobo Mini is available in black or white, with three interchangeable
SnapBack options available for purchase at participating retailers:
