Replacing my Glo: HD or H2O?

It's certainly possible, although I did not notice when it happened.

On a side note, I'm deciding between the Aura HD and the Aura H2O. A local store has the Aura HD on clearance, possibly because it is to be replaced by the H2O. The Aura HD is just under $100 CAD while the current price of the H2O is $179.99.

I don't need the waterproofness of the H2O and at least one reviewer noticed that the recessed USB port means that only cables with a thin profile can be used.

However, the H2O has a Carta e-ink screen, while the HD has a Pearl. Another reviewer says that the improvements from Pearl to Carta are only a little noticeable; slightly darker text and a slightly lighter background. On the other hand, the official Carta specs show that Carta screens can be made with the Mobius Flexible display or glass. Given that I damaged my Glo's screen, having the more durable flexible screen is attractive to me. Does anyone know if the Aura H2O has a glass or Mobius screen?
