Kobo Aura H2O 2nd Edition

Kobo Aura H2O

Kobo Aura H2O Review

Whether it's the sandy shores of Cancun or your bathtub, if you like to read near water, the Kobo Aura H2O is a waterproof ebook reader worthy of your attention. Summer reading is a treasured pastime, and the last thing you want to do is ruin your vacation after dropping your ebook reader in the pool.

In addition to a thinner, lighter design than its predecessor, the new H2O features improved waterproofing so you can read without worry no matter where you are. Plus it adds all the customizability and adaptive backlighting of the excellent (and similarly waterproof) big-screen Aura One for $50 less. While the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite remains a better value for those more comfortable on dry land, the H2O is a fantastic e-reader to take to the beach. What's New? The Aura H2O looks an awful lot like the Aura One, albeit a bit smaller and lighter. It measures 6.8 by 5.1 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and weighs 7.4 ounces.

Kobo Aura H2O eBook reader survives our water test, perfect for the bath

Kobo announced its latest eBook reader, the Aura H2O with IP67 waterproofing, prior to the IFA consumer electronics trade show, but Pocket-lint caught up with the rising rival to Kindle and Nook on its stand to have a proper look at the device.

Kobo has introduced a new e-reader, and the device offers all your typical generational improvements, including faster page turning and a high-resolution display for crisp text. But it also brings a degree of waterproofing to the device, which means it's better able to handle a trip to the beach, or...
