I just need to post this, and get it out of me...
I've had so many ereaders, so many problems... Unclear screen, blotchy lighting, fractured screens, two-tone lighting, all of it. I'm the most pickiest bastard when it comes to these devices. Finally, I bought my H2O.
Wow, what a difference. I've had it for a few months now and I just can't believe that I own the most perfect E-reader I have ever owned. The lighting is uniform and such a beautiful cream colour. It is huge and the text is the crispest and clearest I've ever had. Every year I buy a new ereader in the hopes of finding the perfect one and am consistently disappointed.
My H2O changed my life. For the first time since digital books, I no longer feel the need to upgrade. There are times when I'm just reading a book and I am just blown away by how beautiful the device is - how the text appears on the screen, that gorgeous light, the gorgeous, clear fonts... I keep searching for literature online that agrees with me, that is as obsessed with their H2O as I am but I come up empty handed.
I love my H2O. It is the most beautiful device I have ever held in my hands. For the first time ever, I am comfortable and happy with my purchase and honestly feel no need to upgrade or change. All the reviewers saying that it's not so good and whatever can shut it - they are all wrong! The day my device malfunctions or dies will be a very sad day for me. Similar previous ereading experiences meant exchanging various models for 'good' models - models which are just slightly defected enough for me to ignore it. Not my H2O - first purchase, and 10/10 performance.
Thank you Kobo for this beautiful treat. I really needed to get this out of me just so I can actually come to terms with how happy I am with my device. I feel truly blessed, and often I feel as if I am in close proximity with the divine when I use this device... truly... Wow.
