A Kobo ereader will likely have you reading a lot more. In fact, the newest ereader in their lineup, the Kobo Nia, with its slim, no frills approach, is all about what you are reading rather than what you are using to read. It’s light enough for anyone to hold for prolonged periods and small enough to fit into a pocket or a handbag. And it’s going to be a great prize for two people who read through my short article and enter this contest.

You won’t want to put down the Kobo Nia ereader

I love reading as much as I love writing. I have done plenty of both in my life. Of course, my job as Editor in Chief of the Best Buy Blog requires me to write a lot of articles—and read even more articles. However, I still make time for writing and reading as a pasttime; not as much as I would like to or as I did in the past, unfortunately. You see, I once had a Kobo; that was when I was writing and reading a lot. One of the first things I did after I finished writing my first novel was to upload it to my Kobo. I was so used to reading on the Kobo that I found it much easier to read and edit my own books on the Kobo too. I found it really helped my creative process.

The fact is, when you have a Kobo, you will likely get more interested in books. Partly, it’s the convenience; partly it’s the ease of picking it up and having thousands of books right there in your hands. I don’t read as much as I used to—as I said, my Kobo was stolen. It’s about time I go out and buy another one!

What will you read first on the Kobo Nia ereader

Do you have more than one book on the go at any one time? I always have more than one that I’m reading. The Kobo Nia is perfect for people like you and me since all your books can be in one place. The first book I’d put on an ereader is Kazuo Ishiguro’s “The Buried Giant.” I rarely get into fantasy type stories but I’m about 100 pages in and this one has me hooked. I would likely add a few of Ishiguro’s books now that I know I love his writing style.

Of course, you could add books to any Kobo: they have models that are waterproof, models with bigger screens … so choose the one that works for you. Ted recently reviewed the Kobo Nia and he pointed out many of the features found in the range of Kobo devices, but emphasized that the Nia is perfect for what you need it for: reading. Read his review, decide on an ereader, then load it up with books or get a subscription from Kobo and open your world to books, books, and more books.

  1. The Kobi H2o would be my clumsy choice with The Ghost in My Brain: How a Concussion Stole My Life as a first book.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

  2. Probably the Kobo Libra H2O So that at the cottage I wouldn’t have to worry about water and the book A Burning
    by Megha Majumdar .

  3. The waterproof Kobo Libra H2O is my favourite e-reader.
    The first book I would load is Fifth Business by Robertson Davies.

  4. In a perfect world and because a larger screen is kinder to my eyes, my favourite is the Kobo Forma. I like books by Steve Berry

  5. My favorite Kobo would be the Kobo Clara HD 6″ Digital eReader with Touchscreen, especially since it includes “ComfortLight PRO technology to help reduce your exposure to blue light”.
    The first book that I would add to Kobo is THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR by Jean M. Auel, and this would be shortly followed by Jean Auel’s other books in the same series; THE VALLEY OF HORSES and THE MAMMOTH HUNTERS.

  6. In a perfect world and because a larger screen is kinder to my eyes, my favourite is the Kobo Forma. First book I’d add would be Margaret Atwood’s “The Testaments”.

  7. I havent tried any of the Kobos yet so I do not have a favourite. I would add anything by Holly Black as my first books

  8. The Kobo Nia sounds perfect for reading for long periods and when I’m on the go. My first book would be any book (that I haven’t already read) by Lisa Gardner.

  9. Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader with Touchscreen (N873-KU-WH-K-EP) – White, and the first book I would download would be anything by Stephen King, I love his stories.

  10. Kobo Nia for sure and the first book I would read is The Northwest is Our Mother by Jean Teillet. All about the Metis Nation in a very detailed and highly researched history.
