Received my H2O in today's post. So far, I like the build quality and the screen is gorgeous. With the glow level set at 30%, it looks just about as close to real paper as an e-ink screen is going to get in my opinion.

The unit is a bit larger than I was expecting but not overly so.

I dropped in to Chapters on the way home and picked up a sleep cover for the H2O. Very impressed with the fit and finish.

As a long-time Kindle user, I'm still not entirely sure that the Kobo ecosystem is for me (most of their prices seem to be higher than what I can find on Amazon) but for a straight ePub reader. Now I'm just waiting for a Calibre update so that the H2O is recognised.
