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 Kobo Libra H20 and the first book I would read would be Dragonflight by McCaffrey. I need to reread something escapist right now.

  2. Retailing at $129 is a little too much for a reading gadget that doesn’t offer too much. My niece will like it especially using her fingers to scroll. The highlight of her day. Would make a nice Christmas gift.

  3. I do not have an ereader although my son has used one for years. The Kobo NIa sounds like a great start for an ereader. My first book would most likely be by Jayne Ann Krentz.

  4. I like the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader with Touchscreen (N873-KU-BK-K-EP) – Black. I’d add something by Ted Dekker. Not sure which book though.

  5. Love the Forma but all of the models are beautiful!! I would add “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” for my 8 year old son, as I would give it to him if I won.

  6. Kobo Nia, because I don’t have any other experience or knowledge with them! So this one would be great. I would get Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas (coming out in the near future!)

  7. I like the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader w/Touchscreen. I would read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.

  8. I love my current Kobo which I would give to my daughter if I won this one: I love it because it’s light enough for anyone to hold for prolonged periods and yet small enough to fit into a pocket or a handbag. Great for back and forth travel between Germany and Canada for my daugher and I!

  9. This new Kobo Nia is my favourite -it’s lightweight, portable, and simplistic. I would add the Bible first to my library on this device.

  10. I pick the Kobo Libra H2O 7″ Digital eReader but really want an audio option. I would pick a book buy Brandon Sanderson.

  11. I prefer the Kobo Libra H2O (I love that it’s waterproof). As for what book I would add…hmmm, that’s a tough one. Probably something by Jo Nesbo.

  12. Hubby has the Kobo Clara and I would love it too. My old Kobo I’ve had for about 6 years was bought used from a friend so I have no idea what it was called. I would download Mr Mercedes ~ Stephen King and any sequels. Thank You

  13. I like the KOBO H20. Love that it is waterproof and has the lighting options. I would loud it with Jodi Picoult books.

    • My wife has the aura one and I’m really jealous every time I pick it up. Probably load up leviathan wakes and settle in.

  14. It is time I read the Lord of the Rings from beginning to end. Usually I just pick up the book and start reading at what ever random place I find. I would love to do this with the Kobo Forma 8.
