After some vacillation, I just bought the H2o2 as a complement to the One - I find the 6" Glo HD is too small for me to read on nowadays though it is the best Kobo I've had otherwise (responsive and sharp screen thanks to IR), and the original H2o is heavy and awkward to hold, not to speak of no comfort light and annoying port cover, and has only 4 Gb which means I can't load all the books I have on the One.

All in all, I like the H2o2: much more comfortable to hold than the original, lighter, good screen, better casing than the One, and the 265 dpi is not a problem. But I won't be using it at night because I dislike the lemon tinge of the comfort light, and even by day with comfort light at 0, I find that that the light is lemon-y, and that the maximum is much darker than the One's.

I will mostly use it in transit or when I have to charge the One, and it might come in handy if my arthritic hands play up.

One thing surprised me: I uploaded all the books I have on the One except for 65 PDFs which add up to 340 Mb, and the available space is 2.6 Gb on the H2o2 and 1.4 Gb on the One. I cataloged the disks and found that the differences is in .kobo-images: 0.7 Gb instead of 1.7 Gb. I often use Kobo Utilities to clean off extra covers so I wonder - is it that images are created when I open books? Is there a way to eliminate all images and reload them to get 1 Gb extra when I am short (I added 0.4 Gb's worth of books in the last 5 months)?
