But a few hours later I decided that it wasn't worth it. Today I did the refund for the second time but this time I'm considering to buy the H2O. It's true, the screen is a little bit grayer and the resolution is lower, but that's not so bad compared to the awful lighting system of the One. And the flush bezel on the One is relatively good because you could accidentally tap the screen. Finally, I think that the 265 resolution is almost sharp and clear as the 300. Maybe if you compare the two screen you could notice the difference... However, these are just my expectations. I will let you know everything when they send me the h2o.
P. S. Sorry about my English, I'm Italian

Edit: I know some people have a perfect aura one, but that wasn't my case. If you want to try, maybe you could get a good one if you're lucky. But consider that there are also people who sent back 4 devices or more before getting the right one.

Sounds like you're making the right decision. You are just not having any luck with One. Please tell me what you think of H2O2 when you get it. I'd love to hear it.

Hopefully I'm still a few years down the road from having to make the decision. Who knows what Kobo will come up with in the meantime? :-D

I'm hoping I'll like the size of it since I'm used to the 6 inch. There does seem to be a lot of people who like the size of the old H2O which is encouraging.

I'd buy another Aura One in a heartbeat. But I LOVE the extra screen size, my library DOES use Overdrive and I love the comfort light.

As for portability, it's no worse than any other reader I've owned, it goes with me everywhere! I mean, people used to lug those clunky Kindle Keyboards about, and I used to lug the original Nook Wifi myself. The ONE is not much larger than my Aura HD, I consider portability a non-issue.

As for the comfort light, mine is orange, not pink.

If you don't need or want the extra screen size, and wouldn't use the Overdrive feature, then the new H2O might do just as well. But the larger screen really makes for a nicer, more immersive reading experience in my opinion.

I saw it on the ereader YouTube channel.

I really want the KA1. It's a perfect size IMO, almost the same size as my iPad mini. The integration with library books would be great.

Those of you who have one...does it have the browser as well? I use the Calibre Content Server option on my Kobo Glo hd.

Do you mean the GoodEreader channel? If so, the video I can see calls it "peachy". And judging the colour from the video is hard due to the lighting they use.

Yes, it has the browser.

Have to say I am absolutely loving my H202 so far! I'm loving the comfort light pro. It's so even on my device. I think they may have perfected it for the H202 or I'm just lucky. Either option I can accept. Lol

The larger screen size is lovely. Though, maybe not as portable as my Glo but I think it's also because I'm a bit more protective of it since its so new and I don't currently have a case yet. Sadly.

I wish it had the beta games on it but I think I should manage. The screen is absolutely gorgeous I must say.

I have yet to do the dunk test in the sink but I hopefully will tonight!
