The Nia also does support Kobo's Overdrive integration.

Does anyone know if the Nia has 512 MB of RAM or 256 MB? I assumed it would 512 MB because that's what's advertised for the Tolino Page 2, but I don't see anything about it on Kobo's site. GoodEReader is showing it at 256 MB (but that may just be an assumption).

I think I asked this before, and the answer was that there is no official source of KePubs except direct from the Kobo store, so they do not officially support sideloading KePubs.

That's an epub3 fixed layout epub. Kobo has supported those for years. If the fixed layout was properly constructed, the <meta property="rendition:layout">pre-paginated</meta> was used along with the synthetic spread properties. There were a couple of other way to mark an fixed layout, for testing you could change the file extension to .fxl.kepub.epub to force the Kobo Webkit renderer in fixed layout mode.

Standard Ebooks supplies KePub for the public domain eBooks they have available. But I'm guessing these KePub are make with Calibre and the KePub output plugin or KePubify.

I got an email from Kobo this morning inviting me to place a pre-order for a Nia. I suppose most of you probably received this also.

I'd like a Nia in the lemon cover, but my Clara and Glowlight Plus are both nicer and still going strong, so I can't justify it. |

Probably a good move to have a cheaper device. $30 bucks is a lot for some people. Specially when giving that as a gift to someone else. For when you budget is $100 gift...
I do hope they have a high end device soon with a color screen maybe?! |
