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. I like the libra personally. And I like classic books, right now I am reading Melville’s “Moby dick” and that would be my first so I could finish on the kobo nina.

  2. The Kobo libra H2O looks awesome, no worries about it getting a little wet outside ( or in the bathtub) I would download Stephen King’s the Stand….too large to hold in a regular book.

  3. It would be the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital reader – and my choice to read first would “TOO MUCH and NEVER ENOUGH” by Mary Trump.

  4. Kobo Libra probably but would love to try the Nia. I’d upload How to be an Antiracist to understand the issues better.

  5. Libra H2O is my choice and I would upload the Introduction to Pharmacology textbook I am reading for work – it would be so handy to have it easily accessible

  6. I have the Kobo Clara and I love the portability (and I have the same name lol). I would buy Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.

  7. My favourite Kobo is the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader.

    I would add Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir.

  8. The Kobo Libra H2O is my favourite Kobo ereader. First ebook I’d want to read is The Winds of Winter, assuming it ever comes out.

  9. No doubt about it, the KOBO Libra H2O would be my choice of ereader. And my first choice of book on the list would be “THE ORDER” by Daniel Silva.

  10. I like the Kobo Forma 8” for the large screen. The book I would add to the Kobo is Dune to get ready for the upcoming movie remakes.

  11. I love reading when I go camping so the Kobo Libra H2O would be my favorite. Not having to worry about water damage would ease my mind. (Rain, damp nights, beach days)
