![]() Of course, this will depend on your screen's brightness and how much you read, but the average user should be able to go for a few weeks without needing a charge. I only spent about three hours reading in short spurts during that period, but that's still pretty impressive. I also charged up the H2O before a 10-day road trip and was pleasantly surprised to find it still had over 90 percent battery by the end of it. I read All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai-which the Aura H2O estimated to be about seven hours of reading-over five days, and I still had well over 85 percent of battery life left. Amazon Kindle Paperwhiteīattery life is excellent. While it's a bit odd to read from an orange-hued screen, it's helpful if you don't want to inadvertently stay up all night reading. You can see the difference in the photo below of the H2O and the Paperwhite side-by-side at maximum brightness. This means the closer you are to bedtime, the more blue light will be filtered out. ![]() On a brighter note (literally), the H2O gets the Aura One's adaptive light technology. While having the ability to add extra storage would have been nice, the H2O comes with 8GB of storage, which should fit up to 6,000 books. ![]() Unfortunately, Kobo also got rid of the microSD slot. (Though touches register a bit slower when submerged.) The best part is that you don't have to worry about making sure the charging port is sealed, because Kobo has done away with the port cover altogether. I was also able to navigate the various menus and turn pages while it was underwater, making it well-suited for reading in the tub. I dunked the H2O in a sink for about 55 minutes without a problem. This means it can be submerged in up to 6.5 feet of water for an hour, which is about twice as long and twice as deep as the previous model. It's a bit more noticeable for images, but you'll probably want a color tablet to read comics or image-heavy PDFs.Īs mentioned, Kobo has improved the H2O's waterproof rating, bumping it up to IPX8. But the difference is largely negligible to the naked eye, especially for text. That's not as sharp as the 300ppi displays on both the 7.8-inch Aura One and the 6.0-inch Paperwhite. The 6.8-inch Carta E Ink touch screen has a resolution of 265 pixels per inch (ppi). That's partly because the H2O has sharper corners than the Paperwhite, which better conforms to the shape of your hand, but also because the Paperwhite's smaller size in general makes it easier to reach your fingers across the entire screen. While commuting, I didn't feel secure swiping pages back and forth when the train was moving. Still, straphangers with smaller hands might find the H2O slightly harder to grip than the Paperwhite. It also has a textured back, which, along with its size, makes one-handed reading easier than the previous model. IP certified, can be immersed for up to 30 minutes in up to 1 meter of water with port cover closedĮxtra-large 6.The H2O has a blue power button on the back of the top right edge. Plus, with ClarityScreen+, Kobo Aura H2O provides a high definition reading experience, with crisp, clear text for easy and enjoyable reading. Eyestrain is minimized in any light with the fully adjustable ComfortLight directing light at the page, not your eyes. ![]() It features an impressive extra-large, no-glare 6.8” Carta E Ink touchscreen that reads like print on paper – even in direct sunlight.
