You can also tap on highlighted words to unearth related books, authors, articles and so on. Over time, Kobo will deliver personalized reading recommendations based on your feedback and habits. The bottom left is where you navigate through your Library, bookstore and ‘Extras’. The interface doesn’t break with tradition either, with the main menu located in the top-right revealing settings, remaining battery, brightness, and Wi-Fi connection. The back of the device will be familiar to existing Kobo users, as it sports a wavy, ridged surface, designed to make it easier to grip. The Kobo Aura H2O only has one button – an on/off switch on the top edge. So, with the vital stats out the way, here’s what Kobo’s latest machine looks like. It’s worth mentioning that it’s Wi-Fi only too. The Aura H2O comes in black only and, as with the Aura and Aura HD, features 4GB of internal storage, expandable to 32GB with a micro SD card. As with other Kobo e-readers, the Aura H2O supports EPUB, EPUB3, PDF, and MOBI book formats, and displays JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP and TIFF images. At 233g, the Aura H2O is hardly a beast, but it is markedly heavier than its Aura predessor, which is 174g. With dimensions of 179 x 129 x 9.7 mm, the Aura H2O is bigger than the Aura, and marginally larger than the Aura HD. Kobo Aura H2Oįor the spec geeks amongst you, the Kobo Aura H2O sports a “tablet-grade” 1430 x 1080, 6.8″ touchscreen Carta E Ink HD display, at 265 dpi resolution.
We got our mitts on one of these fellas, to see what’s what and whether it really can play nice with water as it claims. The latest notable device out of Kobo’s vaults is the Kobo Aura H2O, a waterproof e-reader that lets you read worry-free in the bath, or anywhere that water lurks. A month after the Aura last November, the Kobo Arc 10HD was launched, which we called a premium and pricey tablet that tries to please everyone. Last October Kobo launched the Aura, a compact e-reader that packs a punch, which succeeded the Kobo Aura HD.
