It doesn’t work. I can’t get it to charge and when it does occasionally charge, it crashes and I have to set it up from the beginning.

Product details
Escape into a story, learn something new, and remember why reading is fun. Kobo Nia’s a big deal in a small package: you can carry up to 6,000 eBooks with its 8GB of storage. Bask in the sun with your favourite read on its glare-free 6” touchscreen, or snuggle up with a bedtime story thanks to adjustable ComfortLight. Read as much as you’d like with Kobo Nia’s long battery life, where a single charge can last for weeks. Love the way you read with Kobo Nia.

So happy with my Nia as I had worn out my last Kobo. I am so hooked on reading it is like a drug to me.

Great price. I would recommend a newer model or maybe brand new as the screen is highly misaligned. But once set up it’s no longer an issue as you only have to click the general area to switch pages. Not a huge issue for me and now it’s hardly noticeable except for when I need to press precisely for the changing of settings. :)

Easy tp read and to load books. It does everything I need it to do including syncing and organizing my ebooks. It works well with Adobe Digital Editions as well. Great product for the price!

Wouldn't connect to wifi despite trying all the different troubleshooting techniques. Wouldn't recommend buying a refurbished kobo based on my experience.

I love my new Nia, she is cute and pretty and prefect size to carry around. Set up was super easy! I got it set up with my kobo account and overdrive right away.

I was tired of my Amazon ad supported paperwhite. The refurbished Nia is a more than satisfactory replacement. I find that I far prefer the way books present on the page. My only quibble is the relative lack of content compared to kindle, especially for sales books.

I love my Kia! I can’t wait to upgrade but this is a wonderful introduction to ereaders.

Love the kobo Nia! I’m new to readers and honestly it does everything I could imagine needing at this point, it’s a great starter. Reaction accuracy on the screen can be a little laggy, but it’s not that big a deal to me to redo a highlight. Reading much more than I have in a long time, so I’m really enjoying this!!

Super affordable getting it refurbished and works perfectly! Lightweight and small enough to take everywhere. Can access all my digital library books which is huge for me. And no more battling with glare from lights/sun when reading digitally!

device shipped in unusable state, required a considerable amount of time, and a few attempts, to figure out how to fully reset it and get it to the point where the Startup Wizard could complete successfully
