After breaking the frontlight on the so-called waterproof Waterfi Kindle Paperwhite by submerging it in water, I'd rather take Kobo's word on it than risk ruining a $179 device, especially mid-review. Well, nothing of the sort is going to happen here. With most Kobo Aura H2O reviews, you'll find someone dunking it in a tub of water to prove that it's waterproof. Price: $179 at Indigo, Kobo, Argos Kobo Aura H2O Video Review Too bad Kobo doesn't offer their ereaders in stores in the US, because you really need to see the screen in person to appreciate how much nicer it is than reading on an LCD screen.

While most people are never going to need a waterproof ebook reader, the Kobo Aura H2O would be one of the best ebook readers without that distinction, so consider it more of a bonus feature.
KOBO AURA H2O SOFTWARE
Kobo's software continues to get better, and the hardware is top of the line. It has one of the nicest screens in the industry and Kobo nailed the design elements. In my opinion the Kobo Aura H2O is the best Kobo ebook reader yet.

Can't adjust line spacing with most sideloaded ePub ebooks, and text renders differently than Kobo ebooks.No easy option to export notes and highlights.The frontlight is more yellow in tone than on other ebook readers, although frontlights can vary greatly from device to device.No multitouch support, no pinch-zooming.One of the only waterproof and dustproof ebook readers.The new design is a step up from the Aura HD, making it thinner and easier to hold, and it has a soft rubbery coating front and back instead of slick plastic.It has an evenly distributed frontlight with a wide range of brightness settings, and brightness is easily adjusted by sliding a finger along the left edge of the screen.The high resolution E Ink screen looks fantastic, and the newer Carta screen helps makes text appear darker.
