My Kobo Aura died a few days ago after 2.5 years of very good use :( Typically in a place where I could not get a replacement (I'm on holiday). But there was a wifi connection, and I did read this thread and a couple of others from here that helped me in my decision as to go for a h2o or a glo hd :)
Back on the continent, and still on holiday, I went to buy a new one this morning. Decided that although I loved the 6" form factor of the aura (and already have a case/cover), I would go for the larger h2o for the bigger screen (that can hold more text) experience. Although in the first shop I went to, they were selling the original aura for 100 EUR, compared to 130 for the glo hd and 180 EUR for the h2o... Luckily at this partcilaur point of my life I do not always have to go for the "bargain" / better value item, so I came home with a h2o. And the retailer I purchased from has promo where I get 20 EUR of free ebooks, so that's good.
Anyway, time to unbox, connect to calibre and get on with my reading :) Thanks to all who commented here and in the other thread!
