The browser can be set to full screen using a config file option. I don't know how well it works as it's been a while since I tried it.

I just placed an order for one so I guess I'll find out in due course.

Haven't you ever heard the saying "Happy Wife, Happy Life". Give her your H2O and buy another one for yourself. Before it's too late!

Its only been available for a couple of weeks and the H2O is already out of stock on Kobo's New Zealand Website. I wondered if they are shipping them from a New Zealand source, or from Australia or somewhere else?

Kobo's sending mine from Hong Kong, so perhaps that's where the warehouse is.

Hong Kong has been a typical origin for some shipments for a few generation of Kobo's. IIRC the U.S. shipments for the launch of one of the devices came from Hong Kong if they had ordered a cover as well or domestically from the U.S. if they didn't. Not sure there ever was an exact pattern discovered, but from Hong Kong isn't unusual.

So does the Kobo Australia website show the H2O being out of stock too? If not then I guess Kobo must have a set allocation of devices for each country, and New Zealand has sold out its allocation.

I paid the full $229 at JB, it didn't even occur to me to ask for a discount. The chap had to go "out the back" to find it, and it was the last one, or so I was told. Even at $229, the screen upgrade over the Glo makes it seem a bargain, easily worth the $70 price difference. It is very rare to find this much difference in usability between two consecutive generations of ereader. FWIW JB Bankstown, Sydney, are now selling the 6" Aura for $159, the same price as the 6" Touch Glo. That being said they will include an additional year's warranty with the Touch Glo at no additional cost. |
