Good concept but stopped working.
I received my Kobo H2O as a gift and I loved it at first! Unfortunately, the screen recently froze and then my ereader stopped working completely. It won't turn on, it won't charge, it won't respond when plugged into my computer, and it won't reset.

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.

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...

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 H20
For those looking for a book reader then the AuraH20 from Kobo could well be something to consider. The bright white background makes it seem just like what one used to take off the bookshelf to read, the main advantage is that text size can suit your eyesight.

The Kobo Aura H2O is a solid e-reader choice, boosted by its top-notch screen, excellent build quality and waterproof skills that make it the ideal poolside reader, but its ecosystem pales in comparison to Amazon's Kindle.
Pros:
- Kobo's range of Aura e-readers have had a certain premium quality to them, and that continues with the Aura H2O, which as the name suggests, arrives with waterproof skills
- Like Sony's range of Xperia phones and tablets , the Aura H2O is IP67 certified, meaning it can take a dunk in one metre of...
Cons:
- The Aura H2O is a solidly built reader with a grippy plastic texture to it
- and the strange
- 3D-esque asymmetrical design on the back makes a return
- but that makes it a bit bulkier than Amazon's Paperwhite
- which also weighs slightly less.

Kobo Aura H2O review
If you enjoy reading while having a long soak in the bath, the waterproof Kobo Aura H2O is probably the eReader for you. It's also good a choice for those who want to take an eReader on holiday for a spot of poolside reading.

Kobo Aura H2O review
Does an ereader need to be waterproof? Since Sony made its Xperia devices waterproof it was only a matter of time before this impressively practical approach hit every other gadget and where better to get your feet wet than with an ereader?
