Kobo Nia only $65 on Walmart right now
If anyone is interested in the Kobo Nia, there is a great offer on it on Walmart right now. Only $65. Great price for a back-up reader.

I'd still hate to recommend it over the Clara line, but for that price, I suppose this could be a good device to dip your toes into the Kobo world.

Nia still $100 from Kobo. Looks like WalMart clearing inventory. I guess that experiment was less than successful.

Didn't realize the first time, but this is being sold by a third party seller, not Walmart directly.

EDIT: Looks like this was brought up by Cactus Chef, sorry about the redundancy. |

Let's say I wanna buy this book. Currently, I can load up my Kobo account with a US gift card, change my Payment Information around in the profile to switch it to London, pull up the book here, buy it, flip everything back, and now I'm back across the pond with a US account and the book safely in my library. I can then pull it off my Kobo and decrypt via DeDRM/Obok. Going through ebooks.com and paying via PayPal would be easier (could just pay exactly the book price and not have to buy a gift card to the nearest ten dollar mark), but then the book would be under the ebooks.com encryption, right? Would the same tools be able to decrypt it? I've never had luck with downloading and decrypting via ADE--I've always stuck with pulling it directly off the device. |

That being the case, I wonder if these are refurbished units being sold.

I'm guessing the Nia's haven't sold well since the Clara HDs are so often put on sale. They probably just want to clear their stock. |

Why? I just use PayPal to buy UK books from Kobo. Works fine.
