New e-reader
My trusted H2O has bricked after 6 years good use. I already miss it.
So I need a new e-reader like the Kobo aura H2O (first generation). The dimensions from the H2O (6,8 inch screen) are perfect. If possible I prefer a similar size, or bigger. The format I use is mostly epub. The e-reader has to be compatible wit calibre (to side-load books), online public library and if possible with kobo plus. E-ink is a requirement (bad eyesight) and a long battery life (I want to take it with me on bike holidays without having to recharge it) If possible an integrated dictionary. I like to read with one hand. Any recommendations are welcome. Last edited by hannah; 02-20-2021 at 10:11 AM. Reason: forget something |

I suggest you get a Kobo Libra H2O with a 7" screen.

Thank you for your answer. I see it's much wider, is that an advantage?

Well, it’s more a matter of liking it or not.
It’s a trend to place buttons on one side with the asymmetrical design for some devices (forma, libra, Oasis 1, 2 & 3) From the actual line this Libra seems to match what you expect, and it still a Kobo. So, if you’re already invested in the ecosystem or have a use of Overdrive public library, you’ll feel at home. |

Thank you Almamida and JSWolf. It's easier to stay with kobo.
My husband played with the aura this evening and could debug it. It works again but slower for some reasons. I wait to see if it keeps working before buying a new one but thanks a lot both of you. ![]() ![]() |

I suggest doing a factory reset and then installing the current 4.26.x firmware. I've found the 4.25.x firmware is faster then the one that came installed on the H2O.

The Libra is great! I wasn't keen on the form factor, but now I love it. It is so much easier to hold and I find myself using the buttons every now and then. It is easier to go through my library using the buttons for example. |

It isn't? Well, I didn't know that. I'm posting this from my AH2O2 right now actually.
