I managed to drown my Aura (1th edition, with the red power button) in the bath, so I needed a new reader.
Waterproof suddenly seemed a very good idea so I went with the H2O, 2th edition.
I must say I'm really pleased with it; waterproof obviously, but the bigger screen reads remarkably more easy, considering it is only a little step up, size wise.
It feels like my eyes make more horizontal jumps, but I could be imagining things.

The screen itself looks a little bit sharper and the white seems slightly less gray then my old Aura, and the blue/orange light is a very nice touch. It also responds faster.

The housing feels good in the hand, I love the power button on the back as opposed to the slider on the top on the old Aura. The bezels are still quite large and I would have loved to have a smaller, more premium housing (from aluminium f.i.) and physical page buttons, but generally I'm very satisfied with it and consider it a step up from the Aura, as it should be, since it is more expensive.
