And while I'll agree common sense isn't what is used to be, I don't think it's fallen quite so far as to have folks think bigger will be lighter.
And yet bigger is lighter in the case of the H2O versus the Aura One, so perhaps things aren't always as they seem.

Since the fact that one is bigger than the other is obvious, my goal was to offer an opinion on whether or not that matters and in what way a larger size is better or worse. Sometimes people approach this decision without knowing what size is best for them, and each company says their way is better: Kobo says bigger, Amazon says smaller.

It's hard to know which is the case, but given enough reviews I think people can get a good enough sense to figure out what makes sense for their needs. Mine is just another perspective.
