* note that Height and Width were swapped here, they appear as 129x172x8.8 on the spec sheet as of this post. I presume someone at Kobo goofed and inverted the measurements
You have the H2O specs mixed up.

In general how does the Comfort Light compare with the implementation on the KA1?

Kobo doesn't give guarantee on the battery life "Battery Life: Last for weeks*" "*Dependent on individual usage".

Edit: Compared to the old H2O "Up to 2 months*"

Not sure I can judge that; I think the KA1 I had was an engineering sample.

Fair enough. It is maybe a good sign that Kobo are able to go straight to manufacturing for this model. Or a bad sign that they've skipped all the QC :-)

Anyone want to update the Kobo Aura H2O page? The Aura page describes the old and new Aura models; the H2O page could be edited in the same sort of way.

I'd wait until it's released, Kobo has already goofed on the specs so it's probably better to make sure we have the correct numbers. Yes we could edit it later but why not wait.

You took that pic down quick; I was going to change it to a thumbnail and it was gone!

It's disingenuous to say the least for them to claim that there's no advertising and then try to sell you books on the home page.
