I would love a larger capacity battery. If Kobo had made the Aura One the same weight as the H2O with a higher capacity battery, that would have been so much better. I don;t find the weight of the H2O to be a problem at all.

What I don't get is why people are complaining about weight. When The Sony Reader PRS-500 and the original Kindle came out, they were even heavier. Yet we didn't get the types of complaints about weight that we do now.
