Kobo Aura H2O
is this a good upgrade to the Aura Edition 2? I have my Aura but want the night glow light or what ever it is called and a bit larger screen so I ordered the H2O one from Walmart. I was tempted on the Forma but they sold out again

I got my H2O2 two days ago, and already love it. I was very happy with my Clara HD, especially its lightness and compactness, but the extra screen size on the H2O2 is great. The "comfort light" is wonderful for reading at night, and for me, it's a great value device, more so than the Forma.

What surprised me most about the H2O2 was that I expected going from 6 to 6.8 would indeed be just "a tad" bigger. But the gain in screen real estate seemed bigger than the number suggested. Certainly a good value proposition when KIndle asks much more for its Oasis, only fractionally bigger again

Keeping an SD card would've been great, but I don't read manga and loathe audiobooks, so 6.5GB effective storage is still a lot of books to get through

Exactly! My wife has a Paperwhite 3rd gen, and she was amazed that the Clara's screen is exactly the same size despite being much smaller and lighter. But wen I got my H2O2, she was stunned by the difference, so now I have to save up for another!
