Pros and cons

According to our e-reader expert
  • Thanks to ComfortLight, the e-reader automatically adjusts the screen backlight based on your ambient light.
  • The small size of this e-reader allows you to easily read while on the go, for example on the train.
  • You can store thousands of books, thanks to 8GB storage.
  • A charger adapter for charging via the socket isn't included, only a cable.
  • This e-reader is relatively small, so it's less comfortable to read than with a larger model.

Great for this price!

  • Easy to set up books from the computer
  • Screen quality is fine
  • Battery life is top
  • Not very fast

At first I wasn't sure if I would need an EReader, because I don't read books very often. Yet I saw that Ebooks are often a lot cheaper, so that you quickly have the money after a number of books. Because I don't read a lot of books, I chose this entry-level model.

Let me start with the benefits of the Kobo Nia. First, the ease of use. You can easily put books on the EReader via the computer, but you can also do this via the Kobo app. You can also connect the EReader to 'Pocket'. This allows you to select articles for free on your phone and then read them easily on your EReader. This all works very well. Reading a book is very easy. There is not too much fuss. When you turn it on, you immediately start on the page where you left off. Booting from sleep mode is very fast. What is also useful is that dictionaries are automatically downloaded on the EReader. If you do not know a word, hold the word for a moment and you will immediately see the meaning from the dictionary. You can also look up the word on Google via the EReader. (see the attached images, in which I look up 'sun' as an example in the dictionary and on Google)

Second, the screen quality of the EReader is fine. It's less than other Kobo EReaders, but I haven't noticed much in practice. Images are also easy to see. The screen can also be backlit, making it easy to read even in the dark. Unfortunately, the screen does not have a blue light filter, making it slightly less suitable for reading before going to sleep.

Thirdly, the battery life of the EReader is top notch. You only need to charge it once every two weeks with normal use. Unfortunately, this is done via an old-fashioned Micro-USB cable.

Fourth, it's a very handy thing. It is light and you can hold it well. It is much easier than a normal book, which is sometimes very heavy to hold when lying on the couch. The screen is quite small, but this is not annoying. It's not like you're constantly browsing. The EReader even fits in my back pocket! The Kobo Nia feels solid and sturdy.

Fifth, the price-quality of the EReader is good. You get all these benefits for a low price. So it is a very good entry-level model.

Now I want to briefly touch on the downsides. I already mentioned that it has no blue light filter and uses a Micro USB cable. The EReader is also not waterproof. In addition, the EReader is not always fast, especially when images have to be loaded. You generally don't notice this lack of speed when you're just reading your book. It can only be annoying if you want to look things up on Google or if you want to quickly switch between books.

In conclusion, I am very satisfied with the EReader, because I can now easily read books everywhere, and because it is much more manageable than a normal book. So there are a number of minor downsides to the EReader, but you can expect that for this price. I would recommend this EReader to anyone who wants to read moderately many books, but don't want to spend too much money on an EReader.

Nice E-reader that does what it's supposed to do.

  • Does what it's supposed to do
  • nice screen
  • Adjust lighting while reading
  • Doesn't always respond quickly

Nice e-reader. We also have a Kindle, and I've never liked it that much, especially since you're extremely limited with Amazon. The Kobo Nia is slightly more expensive, but it also works better and I think the screen is better. He does not always respond quickly, but that is to be expected for a cheap model E-reader.

Overall, highly recommended, and I prefer it over the Kindle. For this price I definitely wouldn't pass it up.

  • Easy to carry, small size
  • Ample memory
  • Works slow

The er-eader is easy to use, putting books on it also speaks for itself.
The only downside is that the e-reader is quite slow, you won't be bothered by that while reading the book, but it will if you want to change something in the settings or have to type.
