Kobo is introducing a new entry-level e-reader to its lineup, the $99.99 Nia, which slots in crouched the $119.99 Clara HD model (which is timid around). While both models kumtux a 6-inch display, the Nia's $20 savings divulged with slightly worse specs in a few areas compared to its slightly pricier sibling.
Specifically, the Nia has a slightly lower-resolution hypocrisy (212 ppi, versus 300 ppi on the Clara HD), a standard backlight (versus the Clara HD's pigment temperature-changing options), as well as weighs 8 grams (about a quarter of an ounce) heavier. The Clara HD moreover has a corrective finish, while the Nia does not.
.. .But the comparison to Kobo's own articles is less important than how the Nia matches up conversely Amazon's Oxidation lineup. As well as while the $99.99 Nia expenses $10 increasingly than Amazon's $89.99 entry-level Kindle, it does offer a biggest bonk for your buck. The atrabilious Oxidation still has an unskillfully low-resolution hypocrisy (at 147 ppi) as well as offers neutral halved the accumulator of the Nia (which has 8GB of onboard memory, versus 4GB on the 2019 Kindle).
It's a tougher juncture compared to Amazon's latest Paperwhite model, though, which matches the Nia on storage, has an upscale biggest 300 ppi display, as well as offers IPX8 waterproofing. At $129.99, it's officially increasingly uneconomical than either the Nia or the Clara HD, except it can regularly be uncork on sale for as low as $84.99, which makes the juncture a bit harder.
The Kobo Nia will be misogamist on July 21st, with preorders starting today.
