Seems my Kobo Aura HD is dead. Opinions if H2O is obvious replacement, or would cheaper Bookeen Cybook Muse HD be good enough? CyBook is 139 € and H2O over 200 €. On the other hand H2Os are available on eBay at reasonable prices... (actually, it seems to be only place where it is available -- Kobo fails to offer its products for sale anywhere, even its own webshop).

H2O has bigger display (6.8" vs. 6" may make difference), and I am used to touch screen page flip, physical buttons may not be as nice. Physical light switch is nice though (doubles as night light).

Is CyBook compatible with Calibre? I use Calibre to manage my library. Does CyBook understand Calibre collections as Kobo does?

Any thoughts?
