I just received my Kobo Libra H2O.

First impressions, I really like it. I absolutely love the huge side bezel. So easy to get a good grip on the device. There's a very slight shadow on the thick bezel side but overall, the lighting is pretty even. Certainly much better than the uber splotchy original Paperwhite. I use Night Shift on my tablets and it's nice to be able to do something similar with my readers. The buttons are great. I haven't messed with patches yet and it's looking like I won't need to. On the Aura HD and Glo HD, I had to patch to get the tap zones to make them comfortable/easy to use. With the page turn buttons, there's no need to.

Haven't really put it through its paces yet. I'm at the office so I even had to tether it to my phone for setup. So far so good though.

Do hope it goes on sale as it looks like I'll be buying another as backup. I've been second guessing reordering the Clara HD after I cancelled my previous backorder but I'm definitely on the Libra H2O camp now.

Hoping the Dropbox sync feature on the Forma makes its way to other Kobos soon.
