Brilliant Product
I have been waiting for a while to try and find an eBook reader that did not lock me to a single vendor ecosystem. Although the Kobo allows you to buy books from WH Smith (Kobo), it also allows me to borrow books from the library (need a PC connected to do this) as well as being able to read PDF...

Great bit of tech.
Owned it for a week now and am really impressed with it. Pick your font and font size lie back and read it in the bath. Not only that but you can borrow library books on it, so you can read for free.

Kobo Aura H2O (2017) review
It’s not a giant leap forward for e-readers, and doesn’t deviate very much from Kobo’s previous efforts either, but a few tweaks and changes make this second generation Aura H2O a serious contender. Kobo’s admittedly excellent Aura One is still the better e-reader if you don’t plan on taking it with you on the move - that larger screen almost perfectly matches the dimensions of a real paperback book. Amazon does have a bigger library of books, and if you previously owned a Kindle you’ll have to leave all your old ebooks behind when making the switch to Kobo’s book store. The Kindle Oasis remains the epitome of luxury, too. For tech-savvy travellers, though, this is easily the better buy. If you’re after some summer salvation, make sure to snap one of these up before school finishes in July, and your kids try to turn holidays into hell. Buy the Kobo Aura H20 (20170 here from Kobo
Pros:
- It’s a waterproof wonder
- Undercuts the Kindle competition
- Brilliant backlight won't keep you up at night
Cons:
- Kobo’s book catalogue still lags behind Amazon

Amazing! Far exceeds expectations. If I cannot read a real print book, this is my second choice. The only failing is that it isn't capable of colour, for cover viewing, comics, anime, Ganga, etc.

Does exactly what it the makers say it does.
This is the second Kobo we have bought. The first died after four and a half years of daily use, (approximately 1.5 hours a day). The screen went down. I thought we had had our moneys worth out of it. It is good on the eyes with the yellowish background when reading in a dark room.

Whether reading a book or an eReader , water has always been the greatest threat to your books. Fortunately, the new Kobo Aura H2O is a durable eBook reader with excellent waterproofing and a wide range of excellent features.
Pros:
- The Kobo Aura H2O is waterproof
- so you don't have to worry about taking it to the beach or pool
Cons:
- This eReader does not support audiobooks

There are lot of waterproof products on the market – smartphones, speakers, cameras – but the Kobo Aura H2O is the world's first waterproof e-reader. Forget sealing your e-reader in a plastic zip-lock bag or special waterproof case next time you're within sight of water.

Kobo Aura H2O Review: A Gorgeous, Waterproof Screen That No One Needs
The aftermarket-treated Waterproof Kindle is just about perfect: an already fantastic e-reader with the added bonus of being built like a rock. But all that comes with one hell of a price tag - $US240, specifically.
Pros:
- Waterproof
- Beautiful high-res screen
- Functional home screen
Cons:
- Waterproofing is unnecessary
- No 3G
- no touchscreen
- Odd keyboard layout
