This was a concern for me as well for transport, but the zip case that I currently use now holds my Glo + cover with a little length to spare, so I'm hoping my H2O will fit in that. I carry a small messenger bag (this one) and I think it will just fit.

I'm visiting the US in November/December(first time very excited) and I'm hoping to have a look at the H2O in person which other stores other than best buy usually carry Kobo's also any estimates on the store price would be appreciated.

On another note would the Kobo Carta screen be a huge improvement over pearl? I can still source the sony T3 own here so that's the other device on my short list.

Unfortunately, Kobos are quite hard to find in stores here in the US. Sometimes you can find them in some of the smaller independent book stores, but not very often. My husband ordered my AuraHD for me (was a birthday present) sight unseen because it impossible to find any stores that carried them where we could go test them out.

Regarding the difference between the carta and pearl screens. I have a KPW2 with the carta screen and my Aura HD has a pearl screen. To be honest, I don't really notice much of a difference. Both are very good screens.

Have fun on your upcoming trip!!

Sold my Aura HD for $110 because I simply won't need it when I wrap my hands all over the H20. Someone else should get maximum usage out of it. I'll buy it day one the moment Indigo opens doors.

Nah, I'm allowing them one day before I start complaining.

Where can I preorder the H2O in Europe? I've asked a few local bookstores about availability - they do sell the Aura HD - but I'm not optimistic about shipping dates as they probably order in bulk.

They sell it in Italy @ Mondadori shops and on-line here
http://www.inmondadori.it/Kobo-Aura-...i068149500667/
"preorder now and receive october 2 (in italy, i suppose)"
I *think* they ship outside italy, too.
I'm sure there are other shops in other countries..

Thanks. It looks like they do ship to Estonia but it's 39 € and five days. The local stores will probably give me a date and price tomorrow, if either is unsuitable I'll order from abroad. I hope everything works through Google Translate, I don't speak a word of Italian.

10 more days...

I feel there should be a metric equivalent for this, like a decaweek or something.

treadlightly · 09-22-2014, 09:02 AM

9 days!!!

I'm trying to decide if I should waiting until someone on MR gets his/her Aura H2O or order it tomorrow.

taming · 09-22-2014, 05:00 PM

The Aura HD also came with a custom (as in high end) cable, but any micro USB cable works with it.

Thanks for the clarification Taming. I love the cable that came with the Aura HD, it's the best one I have. I'll be happy to have two.

Nine days huh? Nine, nine, only nine...more...days...
