Techcrunch reviews the Kobo H2O:

 “Kobo’s offering is the peak in terms of e-reader hardware right now – Amazon’s device is slightly smaller and lighter, but you get a far superior screen from the Aura H2O, as well as the built-in water resistance and superior reading light. The only thing you don’t get access to is your Amazon content library – which can be a big turn-off if you’ve already invested heavily in the Kindle ecosystem.

…

Ecosystem lock-in aside, Rakuten-owned Kobo has executed perfectly on e-reader hardware with the Aura H2O – so much so that even if you are invested in Amazon’s bookstore, if you’re a true lover of reading, it could be worth the switch.”

Great work from my team at Kobo.  I’m so proud of the team who pulled this off.
