"Right" or "Good" time to buy a Kobo?

I’d imagine you can return them, you’d just have to pay for the shipping. If they live near the Canadian border they can also hop over and return it at any Coles/Chapters/Indigo store.

Kobo also reduced the weight on the H2O Edition 2(and maybe battery?) so who knows if they’d keep the same battery life again for a version 3.

The H2O2 has the same battery as the the H2O.

The battery has been reported as having the same capacity as the original H2O. I think most of the weight saving is because they don't need to seal it.

Thank you all for the great feedback. I appreciate the insight and really appreciate you all giving this newbie a small slice of your weekend!

I will have the money set aside by the end of this month, so I'll just need to decide if I want to pull the trigger then or wait through November to see if there are any sales for BF/CM.

As Cinisajoy said, "The best time to buy is always a week after you bought it." So, if I decide to buy in early November, you can all thank me for the massive sale that will occur on BF/CM. :-)

Best,
Jack
