Hi GZ'rs

Doing a long trip with the family (6 weeks) later in the year. We are all solid readers so keen to get eReaders to stop lugging books around.

Looking for 6 (yes 6) units.

Heavy users of the library, and not keen to sync 6 devices manually, so pretty keen on having overdrive integrated.

With the new ones about to come out hoping a few of you will be upgrading to the colour models :)

Don't need audio/bluetooth, not fussy about size, and condition just needs to be reasonable.

Main criteria is the overdrive/libby integration and the long battery life that ereaders have. Already have a couple of ipads and phones, not looking for tablets or phones for this use case.

Cheapest one I can see is the Kobo Nia for $200, but if buying new would consider going for the Clara Colours at $275 for comics and kids books to give you an idea of budget.

[Pre Order] Kobo Libra Colour $315 Delivered @ Booktopia - OzBargain

Didn't test if this is actually expired, and might not match your $ and timing, but I got a preorder libra colour plus sleep-cover for $314 shipped from AU.

I was watching kobo prices for a long time before buying this. They don't come down that often and the kobo site never has any refurbs in stock but keeps them listed on the site.

Thanks for that - Found the code, and did it.

A good price but am going to wait and see if I can get some second hand.

Made me realise I hadn't thought about covers either.

I just wanted the libra, but secondhand prices were higher than the full order I just made. Got lucky with this release.

I have a Kobo Sage (with case) that I don't use. I wanted the larger screen but replaced it with the Kindle Scribe in the end. Probably outside your price range, tho, even second-hand as new, they are over $500. Welcome to pm if interested in making a realistic offer.
