JSWolf,

By coincidence I had been looking at the H2O. There is a thread running from someone wanting a slightly larger reader for their father and the Kobo is being mentioned.

I'm happy with the PW2 but my wife complained a day ago that she finds it occasionally reluctant to turn to the next page. She is giving a hard test because she had just had an operation on her right hand and can only hold the Kindle in her left hand. I read that the H2O 'might' be easier to operate. On the other hand I have to admit that my wife has hands that 'computers' hate (I hand her my phone or my digital camera and the settings 'change on their own').

Thank goodness for eBay. We have two Paperwhite 2 devices less than a fortnight old. If I bought an H2O and she liked it better we could offload the two Kindles at not too much loss. I want to keep her machine and mine the same as that means I can act as her F1 key when she gets stuck on something that acts in a way she doesn't expect.

I do want a spare machine or two in case something gets broken or lost on holiday - but I don't want too many machines lying around doing nothing.

EDIT. I am not one for wanting to return goods when they work and I think I might have found something better. But having read Amazon's Kindle Return page I change my mind. Clearly they expect people to be less conscientious and to get lots more machines back - and anyway they now have me as a regular Kindle Book customer.
