Amazon's cheapest Kindle, an inevitable comparison for the Nia, starts at $89.99, but that's with Amazon's "Special Offers" ads without the ads, the price goes up to $109.99. Inside, there's a 1,000mAh battery, which offers "weeks" of reading on a single charge + 8GB of storage. The Nia is pretty sleek at 172 grams, with 9.2mm of thickness around the edges.
