Both have 6.8-inch screens, but the H2O uses the newer Carta screen tech. The main difference between the two is the overall design and the screen. Battery life is rated the same as well, at up to 2 months, which is totally unrealistic. It uses the same 1 GHz processor, the same infrared touchscreen, and it has the same 4GB of onboard storage space, so overall performance is virtually identical. The only noticeable difference between it and other Kobo ereaders is the microSD card slot and USB port are tucked away under a cover on the bottom edge.Īside from the waterproofing, the hardware on the Aura H2O is a lot like its predecessor, the Kobo Aura HD. You wouldn't really know the Aura H2O is waterproof just by looking at it. 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.

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'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.
