The H2O rubber flap annoys me. Once it got caught on something and pulled out altogether; fortunately my husband was patient enough to call Kobo for me and work his way through several layers of support until he found a person who actually understood the problem and told me how to get it back together. I'm basically lazy anyway and the extra step every time it needs charging seems like too much trouble.

A six-inch ereader is better for me anyway. If the ridiculously named Aura Edition Two were really based on the original Aura with an upgraded screen and the addition of waterproofing it would have made me very happy. I'd also have been really happy if the Aura One also came in a smaller size.

I'd almost certainly buy a waterproof Kindle. Maybe market research hasn't found a large demand for it but it's also hard to believe that an awful lot of people had been anxiously waiting for a Kindle with most of its power in a removable charging cover. I do like my Oasis but it feels sort of over-designed to me and my particular unit is the the most unreliable ereader I've ever had.
