Before purchase, however, I had some questions that I hope that the community can help with: - Is there a noticeable improvement in eInk quality? That is, is the crisper text from the slight bump in DPI and the claimed improved contrast visibly noticeable?
- What is the consensus regarding holding the device one-handed on the side? FWIW, I mainly hold my Aura H20 with two hands along the bottom, occasionally with a single hand making a "L" shape also along the bottom.
- Is the OverDrive feature blocked at the firmware level based on the market in which the device was purchased? I.e., if I buy one in Japan (I think there is no OverDrive there) and switch the language to English will I be able to use it with OverDrive from my local library?

If you are comparing the Kobo H20(with the sd card slot) to the Libra 2 the improvement in the screen quality is very noticeable to me in a positive way. I thought that the wedge style would be an issue for me but so far it has not been. I basically hold my Libra 2 in both ways as you described. I have no knowledge about Overdrive in another country. In the US Overdrive is an added benefit for me personally.
