Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy an e-reader for the first time. I think a Kobo would be ideal for me since I live in Europe and I want to read both English and non-English books so I don't want to be tied to one store, and I've heard a lot of good things about Kobo except that its store lags behind the competition (which wouldn't be an issue for me).

The question now is which Kobo to buy. Preferably I'd like the most recently released device. I read on this forum the Glo is already a few years old, so that leaves the Aura, Aura HD and H2O.

These are the prices I can buy them for:
Aura - €99 ($123)
Aura HD - €149 ($185)
Aura H2O - €179 ($223)

Right now I'm leaning towards the Aura mainly due to price, since I don't think the Aura HD is worth the extra €50, but I wanted to get some input before I make my decision.

Thanks!
