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.

  17. I have never owned a kobo, but my mom has one and lives it. My e reader right now is literally being held together by electrical tape. If I had a new kobo, I would get all of Diana Gabaldons “Outlander” series, altho I have read them all….love them!!

  20. My favourite is the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader with Touchscreen. I’d put the new book by Ruth Ware “One by One” on my ereader.

  21. I would love to have the Kobo is the Kobo Nia 6″ Digital eReader with Touchscreen, and I would love to read anything by Gina Showalter.

  25. I’d love to win the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader w/Touchscreen (N873-KU-BK-K-EP) & SleepCover Case -Black. As I age, I find lighting is an issue with reading books in general, outside I’m fine, but now the days are getting shorter and by the time I get home from work there isn’t enough daylight left for me to enjoy a book. Should I win I would download David Baldacci’s Split Second and First Family so I can complete the King & Maxwell series. Thanks for the chance to win. Have a good day =)

  31. I prefer the Kobo Forma ereader because it has a large 8-inch display. I would love to read “My Brilliant Friend” by Elena Ferrante….I visited Naples once and loved it so it will bring back some great memories.

  33. The Kobo Nia: it’s lightweight and slim. My first e-book on it would be Michelle Obama’s memoir BECOMING.

  34. I would say the Kobo Nia is definitely my favourite e-reader. I actually don’t see its smaller size when compared to other Kobo e-readers as a disadvantage. For me, It just means it is more mobile, as it can held with just one hand, and can be easily used anywhere—for example while on a bus. Now, if I had a new e-reader, the first book I would add is Christopher Paolini’s creative work “Eragon”. The movie was all right, but I’m sure the book would be much better and more of an adventure!

    Thank you so much Best Buy Blog for running this contest and offering the opportunity to win a stunning prize! Would love to win and be absolutely delighted and excited, not to mention over-the-moon, if I did!

  35. The Kobo Nia e-Reader presented here for sure. I would add “Charlotte’s Web,” by E.B. White—a book I read long ago during my childhood—so that I can enjoy it once again! Thanks Best Buy!

    The first book I would load is 48 laws of power by Robert Greene
