It's certainly a more gentle reading experience than staring at a phone or tablet.īlack is your only colour choice as far as the actual ereader goes, but there are three official SleepCover cases available in black, aqua and lemon.

Even at this entry-level price, the Kobo Nia offers up a display that's sharp and easy to read: there's adjustable brightness, so the screen is clear and sharp through the day and at night, and you've got a choice of 12 different fonts and 50 different font sizes for the ebook text you're looking at. We've got absolutely no complaints about the screen. It's worth noting that the Kobo Nia isn't waterproof, so you won't want to drop it in the bath – though as far as we're concerned, waterproofing isn't necessarily one of the most essential features that you need in an ereader, it's just a handy extra to have. It feels robust too, though we didn't put it through any particularly gruelling endurance challenges.

Like most modern ereaders, the design is pleasingly minimalist, and the device has a nice textured back that's easy to grip.
