I think that is a good choice, given that you can get the H2O2 cheaper than the Vision HD4. The extra real estate comes in handy (the 6.8" vs 6" is a significant step up).

Got it! 6.8'' is a good size: big but not too much (I can keep it in my hand). Coloured backlight is much more relaxing and useful than expected. I downloaded a book from my public library website, opened it with ADE 2 on WinXP VM and sent to the Kobo: everything worked just fine. The browser has an handy Pocket button.
I have a couple of big PDF files: if you just use the full screen view they work just fine, otherwise you can have issues with them. I will try koreader in the future. I am very satisfied right now.

Thank you for all your suggestions!

Congratulations. It sounds like you made a good choice. I didn't even know the H2O 2 had the comfort light. I might have to try the VM option for ADE. I haven't used a VM in quite a while.
