Kobo Aura H2O - First Impressions
I received Kobo Aura H2O from Futureshop a few hours ago.

First impressions (please note that I used only Kindles before Kobo):

- It is heavy. I don't mind the size of the device but compared to my former Kindle Paperwhite 1, Kobo is heavy.

- The basel is a fingerprint magnet

- I am very disappointed by Kobo's firmware with regard to annotations - There is no easy way to export my highlights from a book to simple text file. One of the main reasons why I prefer to use an eBook reader is to make highlights and save notes.

- I really don't like that I cannot hide page numbers at the bottom of the screen as they waste a lot of space.

- The screen looks good and I like the fact that I can transfer my ePub files.

I will play a little bit more with Kobo but I will most likely return it this week as the above problems are a deal-breaker for me.
