For me, the biggest improvement between the Kobo Aura HD and the Kobo Aura H2O was the return to a (mostly) symmetrical back, not the waterproofing. I always use sleeves for my devices because the book-style covers make them awkward and lopsided to hold. I often switch hands while reading. With this, I would have to stop reading and flip it.
I also don't see this as "top of the line" over the Voyage. The only thing premium is that leather charging cover. And I would rather that be a separate optional add-on, rather than included in the cost of the device.
Ah, well, I'll save my money for more ebooks. One less person competing for pre-orders for those who do want this.

Have to say I agree. That thing is flat out ugly. As much as I like page turn buttons, I would rather have a device that looks halfway decent.
