I own a 2nd generation Paperwhite and for the most part am satisfied with it. However, I definitely am interested in a more customizable reading experience and a slightly higher resolution screen. Also, having been a Kindle 5(black) owner, I really miss the text feeling like it pops off the screen. The text feels a little buried under layers on my Paperwhite and I tried the Kindle Voyage but returned it due to the lighting and the text feeling like it was also buried under a thick pane of glass. They Voyage also seemed too expensive for what I got in the reader.
Since the H20 is a infrared touch screen, does the text seem buried in the same that the text on Paperwhite and other capacitive screens to be? Does the waterproofing affect the screen layers?
I'm considering the H20 over the Kobo Glo HD for several reasons:
1. The screen is bigger.
2. The difference in resolution does not seem that significant. They in fact have very similar resolution but the H20 has a slightly bigger screen.
3. micro sd slot on the H20
4. I read at the beach and like to camp so the waterproofing seems attractive. Not super important though, I generally consider the reading experience to be the most important factor in my decision.
Anyone want to make a case to hold out for the Glo HD?

I don't, since the Glo HD has the smaller screen, no microSD slot, and no waterproofing. I'm sure it's going to be a lovely device, but I don't see that it fulfils the things you particularly are looking for in a reader.
I've had no problem disinfecting/converting Kindle books thus far.
I love my H2O, it's a great device.
