I know it's just laziness but I find myself using my H2O less and less because it's a pain to pry open the port to charge it. It doesn't help that it also seems to need charging more often than any of my other ereaders, possibly because of the larger screen.

I don't know if the H2O and the Nook Glowlight Plus are equally waterproof but the Nook has the advantage of not having to pry off a cover to charge it.

At this point I think the only thing that might get me to buy another Kindle is a color screen. I don't care about any of the other features mentioned. And even then I'd find it hard to give up the customization of my Kobos -- along with font size and spacing options I'm also very attached to book covers as screensavers and book title at the top of every page.

My ideal non-color reader would be a new six-inch Kobo Aura with a screen like the Glo HD (perfect size/proportions and flush screen) but I guess that isn't going to happen.
