Much better waterproofing than the H2O.

The screen is 7.8" vs the H2O at 6.8". The screen is also flush with the bezel and it is using a capacitive touch screen.

Also, the WOW, OMG, and awsome factors are really high with the Aura One. Plus, it makes the Kindle Oasis look like a piece of junk.

Jon, I've never heard you use 'WOW' and 'OMG' in any of your posts. I'm concerned about you and wonder if you're OK.

Please respond quickly, as I've already secured the services of a Doctor.

When you hold a device that's bigger, better, & costs less than Amazon's top model, you have to go WOW, OMG, and awesome.

Based on your past posts I wonder if you think a broken Kobo with a dead battery and mouldy screeen that's been run over by a large truck would be better than Amazon's top model.

And since the ONE is NOT out yet HOW did you Hold it .... Sounds to me you talking about some thing Not an e-reader.

Barbara1955 · 08-21-2016, 02:48 PM

Well the One doen't come with a cover so that's $50 more. Making the prices about the same.

How did Kobo get Color on an e-ink reader? OR is it the lights with 2 different colors?

There are some color changing LEDs. So when you go to night mode, these LEDs change color.

Probably better not to use the term 'night mode' since that's already associated with white text on a black background.

The lights change color based on the time of day, adjusting slowly as your bedtime approaches. You can of course disable this transition entirely, or set the color temperature of the light, and you tell the Kobo One what your bed time is.

Too late. Kobo is officially using the term "night mode" to mean less blue light.

Are they? I just went to the promotional page for the One and I see no mention what so ever of "night mode". All they talk about is "Comfort Light Pro". Are you putting words into Kobo's mouth?

I was incorrect. But in most blogs/articles about the Aura One, the term "night mode" is used for the new less blue-light front light mode and I'm sticking with that.

The One is too big for my taste. Besides, for a huge reader for indoor use my H2O seems to handle my needs for now.
The Edition 2, in the other hand offers a few new thinks compared with my Aura 6''. But not so much. Same dpi, same resolution, same internal store size. I read usually epub books on my Aura so I don't really care for the existence of a external card slot. The overdrive feature may be useless on my country.
I need a 6'' reader with carta display and high dpi. Those things I missing on my Aura 6''.
After a lot of thoughts I came up ordering a Glo HD.

My H2O needs more company. We still have more 6" readers (working order) than >6" readers (only 2 for now).

I will buy it, as soon as I'm able. Two reasons mainly: the size and the ability to change the temperature of the light. (the third is to make my mother even more jealous after reading with my H2O in her swimming pool this summer

)

I see a lot of people saying that the One is too big. But how true is that?

Comparing 6.0 to 7.8 , the One is 30 % larger. But what is the percentage change in actual width of the One compared to say a Glo HD? I know they reduced the bezels some so it may not be that different.
