Edit: One thing that irks me is that Kobo use the TypeGenius screenshot with the separate weight and sharpness sliders to advertise the H2O even though this feature was removed long before the H2O was introduced. It is like they know that it is a great feature that will attract people to buy the device, but removed it anyway.
I think that the maximum sharpness value is fixed (I think it is logical) and only the weight is adjusted. I confirmed with a study:
