When you turn it on though, the reading experience on the Libra 2 is infinitely better - the blacks stay black and the background becomes white, while on the Aura H2O the frontlight (besides being overall worse/not as even because of older tech, though it wasn't bad for the time) just washes everything out and makes the blacks greyer.
Then there's everything else that comes with the new device - The Libra 2's UI, page turns, refresh time ecc. are way faster, there's minimal ghosting compared to the Aura H2O which is pretty bad etc. And of course the resolution. I read at smaller font sizes and I wouldn't be able to do that on the Aura H2O without setting refresh at every page, but I can definitely do that on the Libra 2, and I am very picky about how sharp the text needs to look.

I don't find much of an issue with ghosting on the H2O. The only time I do is sometimes when one screen is a full screen graphic and the next is less then half full. But it's very easy to refresh the screen. I save a lot of battery not having the screen refresh every time.
Eventually, I'll get a Libra 2 given how good the screen is and the battery life.
