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. Kobo Libra H2O would be nice for me to have as I have a muscle disorder and drop my glasses of water often. I might reed more of the Dune series as they are bring out a new show for the books.

  2. I like the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader with Touchscreen and I would read Danielle Steel’s Royal book

  3. I really like the look and the screen clarity of the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader with Touchscreen. I am presently reading Philip Pullman and would download The Subtle Knife.

  8. So I read almost all my books on the Kobo android app installed on my phone and occasionally on my tablet. I’ve looked at the various Kobo readers over the years to see which one will catch my eye and honestly the Libra H20 seems to be great. I just never took the plunge to buy it. If I were to win a Nia one of my first books will likely be a romantic suspense novel. No specific author or title.

    I would preorder Jim Butcher’s Battleground that is coming out later this month. Love me some Harry Dresden files!

  11. I have a basic Kindle and aside from the lack of compatibility with CDN libraries, I love it. The Nia seems very similar. I would love the Nia for my kids. A device to just read on without any online distractions! My 11yo is currently reading Stargirl on my device.

  12. In doing some research, I think my favourite Kobo model is the Kobo Libra H2O.

    I’ve recently been starting the Witcher series, so the first book I read would probably be Blood of Elves.

  13. My favourite Kobo is the Nia – looks like a good size. The first book I would add is All the devils are here by Louise Penny as I love her detective series.

  14. The Kobo Nia is probably my favourite Kobo model. The first book I would add is ‘God Touched’ by John Conroe.
