Also love the fact that is has a sunken bezel as flush screens tends to have uneven lighting which has plagued the Kindle Voyage and even the New Aura One. We’ll see how this works out with the IR screen as the Aura One comfort light pro was a disaster when adjusted more than 40% you start getting a rainbow discoloration effect on the bottom of the screen.Įxternal SD removal isn’t too much of a deal breaker as 8GB is plenty for most people’s needs. I honestly didn’t expect Comfort light Pro and am pretty amazed they are adding it. I always felt that the 6.8″ screen was perfect but the Original H2O just a slight bit “blocky” and on the heavier side. Love that they implemented the new design of the Aura One and dropped the weight significantly. What I like about it is the fact that it is maintaining the IR Screen which compared to capacitive touchscreen, the fonts pop out more, are a tad bit inkier and black and the background screen is whiter as opposed to a beige tone you get with capacitive. The sale ends May 14th.įiled Under: eBook Readers, Kobo Tagged With: kobo aura h2O If a memory card slot is an important feature for you then you might want to get a 1st gen H2O before they are gone for good. On a side note, Kobo is currently running a $20 off sale on the 1st gen Kobo Aura H2O and the Kobo Aura, taking the price down to $159 and $99 respectively. …the device will also be available as of May 22 in the US, the UK, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, and Turkey as of June in Sweden as of July in Australia, New Zealand, and Philippines with Mexico and Brazil to follow later this year. Here’s more info from the press release about international release dates: It will sell for the same price as the 1st gen model, so $199 CAD and $179 USD. The new Kobo H2O is expected to go up for pre-order on May 15th. Unfortunately neither the product page or the press release mention anything about OverDrive integration for free library ebooks, so it looks like they might be keeping that feature exclusive to the Aura One. The overall weight is 207 grams, down from 233 grams. The new design is lighter and more streamlined. The new Kobo H2O is still waterproof, of course, with an IPX8 rating, and it sports the same 6.8-inch 265 ppi E Ink screen as the previous model. But i would really prefer to have a smaller reader, 6 inch instead of 6.8.Īre there other readers which have this nice reddish light without getting huge or very expensive?īecause if this is it, then i might just drop the whole red-light idea and buy one of the refurbished Kobo Glo HD's that they also had in this store (if they actually where the HD version because the boxes didn't say so).It also comes with twice as much internal storage space with 8GB, but they removed the memory card slot so now none of Kobo’s ereaders have one. The Kobo Aura H2O has a nice reddish light, i checked it out today in a store. In which case i am not so very willing to pay the 60 extra euros for it. Readers that i know of that come close to my wishes are the Tolino vision 4 HD - but i read in the reviews that the light does not really get as warm or reddish as you might wish. I would also buy a reader with ONLY the warm reddish light because the only time i used the light at all on my Kobo Aura was when reading in bed, but i figure they don't exist. My ideal reader would have a 6 inch screen and the option to read with a warm/reddish light, and everything else functioning as it should. I am looking for a new ereader and i can't make up my mind
