Just received my Kobo H20 this morning. The screen and lighting are excellent. I have used almost all Kindle models and, like many, have been dissatisfied with the limited font settings. So I decided to try the Kobo H20. My first Kobo e-reader.

I have been purchasing my ebooks from Amazon, downloading them using Kindle for PC and importing them into Calibre using Apprentice Alf. Been doing this for several years in anticipation that one day I may wish to be e-reader agnostic and move to a non Amazon e-reader.

So far I have loaded several epubs onto my H20 from calibre and very much appreciate the ability to set margins and line height to my preference. I also loaded the Charis SIL Modified font which I like very much (thanks JSWolf). I'm looking forward to trying some of the patches available here to make further adjustments (i.e. reducing footer height).

As an aside, I will quickly mention that I am using the same Oberon cover I purchased several years ago for my Kindle Keyboard. It is a tight fit horizontally but it's just narrow enough to work. I also taped a small flat magnet into the front pocket of the Oberon so my H20 now sleeps whenever I close the cover. Unfortunately, it also sleeps when I fold the cover back on itself. Still searching for a way to fix this one annoyance. Very happy with my purchase so far.
