Kindle ereaders do have the ability to borrow library books if the library supports it which is only from some libraries in the USA. Canadian librarians do not have much liking for having the customer have to head over to Amazon's site to download the ebooks and the cost is much higher per borrow. Ask your local library's privacy officer about the privacy issues -- they don't like handing any information about patrons over without a court order.

The H2O you would be buying now would be a H2O v2 (aka H2O2 or the Peroxide
) which is a replacement for the original H20. I've used one a couple of times and it was very nice. As for the Forma? I liked it enough to buy one. Sadly, I only owned it for a couple of hours before my wife "borrowed" it so I'm back to my Aura One as my main ereader with a Clara HD for travel since it fits in a jacket pocket.
