the only ereaders here to choose from with in store tests are nook or kindle (both of which don't meet what i want). i'm still mad about what Sony did as they were perfect, so i guess i'm just looking for something as good as the Sony reader or better.

as for amount of reading, i read about 2 hours a day on average.
This is untrue. Most eBooks will allow you to adjust the font, line space, and margins. Some won't. But that's because of the code. And if it's DRM free, you can fix it fairly easily using Calibre.

Actually, I've been looking and I have found some independent bookstores that do sell the H2O. As for on display to try, I cannot say. But you can try looking online at your local shops and see if they sell the H2O. The problem is that Kobo has not put up on their website which shops these are that are selling the H2O in the USA.

Besides, you can buy eBooks from Google Play, Kobo, and any other eBookstore that sells ePub with Adept DRM. You can also borrow eBooks from Overdrive if you belong to a library that uses Overdrive.
