The price drop is over, unless you count the addition of the free case. That shows on Kobo.com. When I looked at Chapters this morning, I didn't see the original on the list of Kobos.

I just got an official case, from ebay, it's pretty nice! Definitely worthwhile for $15.
Your right it jumped from 139$ to 179$. Still though it's interesting to note that the ereaders maybe heading to a more interactive formate down the road with embedded content, that may put our current readers out of date in the next year or three...

Not me, like my One too much to replace it already.

One rather important piece of information has been left out. That being what mark device this is. It is very important to know if you want to side load the firmware or patch the firmware. Are other Kobo entries in the wiki also missing the mark?

Even with the shipping cost, because of the exchange rate, it's cheaper to buy Chapters.

The site you linked because of the photos has no idea how to take photos. The are all washed out and some show shadows. All of those photos are useless.

The "Trusted Reviews" one is a specs rundown, not a review.

Which is why I added the comment in parenthesis. I agree they're pretty bad, but still like seeing the device in the wild.

Oops, that's true, but they still claim the device lasts a week per charge. That's wrong.

Can the H202 be opened without spoiling the waterproofing?

There is a special page Kobo Latest Firmware for firmware that has the marks. There is also Kobo Firmware Releases. These were created by Kobo owners.

Noplace is the H2O2 listed as to what mark it is. So someone wanting to side load a new firmware won't be able to without knowing the mark. This is very important.

I don't think anyone has received their H2Oe2 yet since we can only pre-order, aside from review copies which we probably shouldn't use as a benchmark.

In another thread, Davidfor mentioned that the H2O2 is a Mark 6 device. Now can you please make sure that all the Kobo device pages include the mark? Thanks.
