- Waterproof
- Beautiful high-res screen
- Functional home screen
Cons:
- Waterproofing is unnecessary
- No 3G
- no touchscreen
- Odd keyboard layout

Pricier than Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite, the H2O packs a larger, sharper display-and it's waterproof. Serious e-readers will like it for reading in the bath or at the beach, but know that it's a premium-price device, with full-color Android tablets right on its heels.
Pros:
- Waterproof
- within limits
- Brighter
- whiter screen with built-in lighting
- Display is big
- at 6.8 inches
- Light for its size
- Superb font controls and onscreen keyboard
- EPub support
- Expandable storage
Cons:
- Price is high
- versus Kindle Paperwhite and many compact Android tablets
