For my part I don't like the capacitive Aura 6" screen, not only because the capacitive layer blurs characters, is yellowish, and shows an annoying grid when hit by the sun (even inside a bus), but also because its being flush with the narrow bezels makes it easy to accidentally touch the screen when holding the device, with annoying effects.
So I am very pleased that contrary to my fears Kobo stayed with infrared for their new 6.8" device.
I am very pleased with the H2O globally too, after an admittedly short acquaintance. Of course I'd like it to be lighter, but the material, front and back, has a pleasant feel, and up to now I have not seen the finger traces on the front so many complain about (except one comment somewhere that it disappeared after a while). It used to annoy me so much with the Sony PRSs and the aura HD, which last was slippery to boot, that I had to import skins at great cost and delay from the States.
I wonder whether the batch sold in France (issue date October 10) was a new/improved version.
