One of the things that bothered me with the Aura HD and H20 is that image rendering is woefully inadequate if the image contains gradients. Or so I thought. When I started using the extended Kobo plugin in Calibre to only upload Kepub's to the Kobo I found that to be fixed in the Access reader. Shaded gradients dither perfectly, and I can even double tap to open images in a pan and zoom image viewer.
It is a bit of a bother to have to convert to non-standard file format for the device (but certainly no different than the closest competitor, Kindles, needing AZW3 files to unlock all their functionality.)
I also found that the fonts included with H20 all seem to include a complete set of glyphs. In previous generations of Kobo, reading books with diacritic characters was limited to either Georgia or side-loaded/embedded fonts. (Without type genius support, that was further limited to modified side loaded fonts for reading E-ink.)
