Hands-on with Kobo's Glo and Mini e-readers (video)

Earlier today we had a nice sit-down with Kobo, where we got some quality hands-on time with the company's [Arc Android tablet](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/19/kobo-arc-tablet-hands-on-video/). As you can imagine, that was the marquee product on display, but we also had the chance to handle the outfit's newest e-readers: the [Glo ComfortLight](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/06/kobo-gio-comfortlight-kobo-mini-kobo-arc/), which has built-in backlighting, and the [Mini](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/06/kobo-gio-comfortlight-kobo-mini-kobo-arc/), which is exactly what it sounds like. Both will be available October 1st, with the 6-inch Glo going for $129 and the 5-inch Mini priced at $79. Neither will have ads, which might be one of the biggest differentiator between these and some of Amazon's offerings. If you're short on time, we've got some hands-on photos below, but if you've got a few minutes to spare, a walk-through video awaits after the break.
