Nope. Too old and not selling the new H2O.

Finally got my hands on one of these, and I really like what I see so far. Although the screen being smaller than the One is unfortunate, the new H2O seems to fix many of the One's shortcomings. The image is wonderfully sharp and clear, the touch is very responsive and noticeably much more accurate, (no trouble selecting text, even at a small font size and close line spacing.) And the light is perfectly even and smooth. Although, it's worth mentioning, the light is also much less intense. You'll need to set the slider to about twice as high to get the same light level as previous Kobo models. I don't think this is bad though, ereader lighting always seemed too bright to me.

If the battery life is indeed restored to about 40 hours of reading, I'll call it a slam dunk.

This is a deal breaker for me, if I can't use my ereader as a back up standing lamp it's just not going to be purchased.

It's the torch function I need. No more stubbed toes finding my way to bed with the light off.

It's been very useful in a strange house at night finding the fuse box when the electricity broke down, and in a hamlet in the Austrian alps where there was a general break down whenever there was a thunderstorm.

Does any one please know if there are any Kobo H2O Edition 2 covers available, other than those at Kobo which are a bit expensive. I am using an old H2O cover with the reader stuck in with 'sticky backed plastic' Many thanks

Buy from eBay. For eBay, the generic ones that ship from China/Hong Kong will probably take 2-5 weeks to arrive (but almost always do arrive), while the ones sold in Europe, most of them rebranded Chinese covers, will arrive quickly but cost about twice as much on average. Your choice on where you would prefer to save, time or money.

Alternatively, if you don't mind buying from China/Hong Kong, try Aliexpress

Check Amazon. I've gotten (from Amazon) the cover my original H2O is using and it was not expensive.

So far there is about 2 different kinds of cases being offered on Amazon. All for under $20 in a couple of colours. I'm tempted by the one that has the plastic backing so far...

Tell me if you pick up one of them, please and ty!

I have the original H2O. But from what I've looked at, I'd go with the purple one.

Yes, it seems you cannot (not yet) install Cool Reader on the H2O edition 2.
