The difference between the Kobo Aura H2O and Kobo's other water resistant ereaders is that the Aura H2O was sealed complete with a rubber cover over the USB port/uSD card slot/reset button against water ingress. Kobo's later models and all the other water resistant ereaders I'm aware of have a nano-coating from HZO over the electronics to protect them from water. This coating does not protect the USB port and is rated for "clean water".
