I find the light good enough on the H2O that I can leave it set to 5% and be able to read no problem in a dark room.

At my public library in Chicago I believe most (if not all) titles are also available in Kindle format. I never tried borrowing directly to the PW (since I really don't read on it, got it a great price and was more curious about the differences), but I would assume it would be just as easy as downloading to an epub reader. So it's somewhat surprising that not all libraries offer Kindle formats since they are available.[.quote]

I've noticed a number of titles at via Overdrive not available in any other format besides ePub. This is in the US and if you are outside the US, Overdrive and Kindle do not match at all. Kindle borrowing via Overdrive is US only. There is no Kindle borrowing outside the US. So when you look at Kobo's website at the comparison to the PW2 (Voyage not available in Canada) Kobo s correct about library borrowing.
