"The 'Mini Kindles' appear to be the latest device to cause a stir on BookTok, with hundreds of videos showcasing the tiny e-readers. Searching for 'mini Kindle' on TikTok brings up dozens of user videos showing someone walking into a Barnes & Noble or Target and then cutting to an unboxing of a so-called 'mini Kindle.'"
"I have no reason to believe these e-readers are actually being purchased at Barnes & Noble, nor do they have any apparent affiliation with Amazon Kindles. In fact, the devices being hyped in these videos appear to be sold by the users who post them."
