I love my H2O. I was so sad that my Glo died (broken USB port) and getting a better device helped a lot.
I love its crystal clear display and snappy pageturns. I love the even light quality which I can adjust with a flick of a finger. It feels a really solid device. I love that it is matt. I love that it doesn't have any nasty white logos on it.
I have mine in a Fintie case, which is also grand and a lovely deep purple colour. It fell from a chest height set of drawers next to my bed in this cover and laughed off any damage.
The two tiny things I miss from my Glo are:
- The H2O is bigger and therefore it does not slip into my bag quite as well. My boyfriend keeps asking how many handbags I really need. I need to keep buying them because I haven't found the one that can handle the handcream, the keys, the phone the hand sanitiser, the umbrella, the work keys, the moisturiser, the mints, the purse, the pens, the lip balm, the notebook AND the H2O with ease. Perhaps the h2O induced handbag purchases are an advantage. The size also feels a bit blocky, sometimes. I'm a girl. I don't have huge hands.
- I used to have my Glo in a neoskin soft case with a bit of padding to it (it had owls on it. I liked that case). Sometimes, if I hold my h2O for too long, it digs into my palms for a bit. I miss the padding from my old case. Can't find one to fit the bigger profile. Hmm.
Still, the bigger size does mean a better reading experience. My niggles are a trade-off.
