Still i'd take it over an amazon billboard any day of the week.
It's totally time to read Halloween/ghost/witch stories and you can't read them ALL on the one day. So you gotta stock up now and start reading!

PLUS if you buy a pumpkin now or butternut squash, you can make soup now and celebrate early. Nothing like a good curcubit soup!!!

I could have used one today. I have recipes on my kindle and my laptop, but I won't take either into the kitchen. I was making a half a tiramisu rather than a whole one--and because the recipe was in the living room, I had to go back and forth, back and forth--and I messed it up. Didn't cut the flour in half! Had to add more egg whites to make up for it...gah!!!! Well, it will still work. But if I had an h2o, well, I could take it in the kitchen. If egg whites splattered during the whipping process, it wouldn't be a big deal. And yes, those egg whites often get away from me...

Can the text size on the kindle go as small as the kobo? Got a kobo glo at the moment, love the small text on it. Looking for a new e reader, got a voyage on order, love the page press buttons well be like my old kk again. However the smallest text on the kk was huge. So tempted to jump on the new kobo h2o for the screen size and the fact I can have really small text

It can go ridiculously small. Too small to be of any actual use to anyone.

Cool. That's what I wanted to hear. The kobo is great for its text sizes being really small

Nice! I would love to hear comparison thoughts on both! I have the voyage on order. If I could find a store near me that carried the H20 I'd really like to have a look at it in person, although maybe it's better if I can't. lol.

Sure, I will post my impressions. And I know exactly what you mean when you say maybe its better not to be able to see it in person..grin..

The crazy thing is, I waited so long to order the H2O it will arrive just around the same time as the Voyage. (Kobo doesn't offer faster shipping options)...

So, sometime around the 21st of October, I am going to be very busy!

Christmas comes early!!

The Kobo can go smaller then the Kindle and still be readable because of the larger screen. I cannot say how small you can go and still be able to read. That's up to you.

The Kobo is also better at larger text because of the larger screen.

You've slightly lost me there, Jon. How does a larger screen enable you to read smaller text more easily?

At the same text size on both the Voyage and the H2O, the H2O's text will display slightly larger because of the larger screen.

It's akin to having two 1080P computer monitors with one being 22" and the other being 23". The 23" monitor will display the exact same thing larger then the 22" monitor.

I see what you mean, but a given point size of text should display at the same physical size on both devices, because the display driver should take the screen size into account when converting from points to pixels.

The primary factor in the readability of very small text is the pixel density of the screen, and there the Voyage, with its 300dpi screen, probably will have a slight edge, although the H2O's screen is certainly very good.
