- An honest review of the new Kobo Aura H20 Edition 2. This is the newest waterproof eReader from Kobo. It also has the new comfort light pro which allows you to adjust both the screen brightness and color temperature.

I prefer Kobo over other ereaders for one single reason: it displays the book cover and the reading progress when in sleep mode. I just love this feature which I think it should be part of any ereader by default.
Great video, mate...
Hi Conrad. Thank you for the video. I have a Kobo Touch which I want to update so I can borrow from my local library. I had been recommended this particular Kobo so it was really helpful to find this - and as I haven't been able to read in the bath up to now knowing that the Kobo Aura H20 is waterproof is rather exciting. Thank you letting us know about the battery life too. Jackie
Updated my Kindle to this Kobo and it is awesome. Have read over 6,000,000 words on it already, and no eye strain.
ppi ou dpi is 265 according to the official site. Thanks for the review.
Looks good!
I still have the Kobo Glo and tried whatever the equivalent gen of the Kindle was at the time and defineatly thought that the Kobo was much better for the price.
With the newest update you can access Overdrive right from your Kobo.
Hello Conrad I hope you well, please where do you got the cover of the Kobo H2o?? I love it!! 😍 thanks in advance
My question is about turning the device on and off....I have a Kobo Touch and you have to slide on and off and this often does not work well....very frustrating....has this been remedied in the newer versions?
What do you mean I can't read Google Books but i could download my purchased google Books i don't understand
It's hard to tell... is it black on white, or is it black on grey? I love reading, but black on white gives me a headache. My nook took a splash of water, and it got screwed up for several days; and it got me interested in replacements. I have the original nook without the backlight, and I want to be able to read in dense foliage on a clouded day (in a hammock). I need epub... for various reasons... and I want black on grey for the low contrast ease of reading. If you've seen the nook, how would you say it compares with low contrast?
Can you get an extended warranty on the Kobo? I hear all sales are final and people who end up with lemons will suffer greatly.
I wonder when reading mostly at night in bed, if an ereader is still the better choice over a small tablet. Especially when you need some light from the device it self and the fact a tablet is more multifunctional. I prefer white/gray on black 'paper' when reading on my smartphone. What do you think is the better choice? An ereader or tablet?
what's the font you used here?
Hi there, I'd like to know id there's any online shop shipping to Mexico. Thanks.
any way to remove stupid header and footer to extend the paragrah?
good review but if it wasn't waterproofed it would not change my opinion of it. most of us have common sense enough to be careful not to immerse our electronic devices in water.
can you drag and drop epubs (sideloaded epubs) you have in your pc to the device easily? or copy and paste?
Yes.
thanks.
does your kobo plastic crack at the bottom part? I have already received the replacement and the bottom part of e-reader makes a cracking noise. such a shame that their build quality has decreased.
Hey! Can u use pdf’s so yes, how do you transfer them... i’m really new... i’m planning to buy one.. thanks!
Yes you can. Use software called Calibre to transfer files.
You can read PDF on kobo's but its a bit slow. YOu only have to plug the kobo into the computer and then you will see the kobo as a harddrive which you can copy pdf's on. The kindle seem to handle PDF's a bit better but kobo's are such a better e reader do to the many supported files.
2:09 I just need to remember how to get long battery life
CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO PUT ON IT EBOOKS THAT I HAVE ON MY PC ALREADY PLEASE?/
just drag the files that you want into the main folder that appears when you plug it in the computer.
Can you please help me ? There is one thing I don't understand, is it possible to download a pdf file on the Kobo, downloading it from a personal file on a computer (passing through a usb câble) ?
As a Kobo Aura H2O (original edition) owner myself, I can confirm that yes, you can definitely do that. I've been doing that several times lately.
@@bccoaster7005 thanks a lot
Very welcome.
This doesn't carry any expandable memory right?
Built in memory is 8GB, about 6.5GB usable... more than you'll ever need.
This model has known issues with Windows 10 connectivity. Other than this - an awesome reader.
Do you prefer your kindle or your wife's kobo?
i will give my 50 cents. Kindle looks super nice and has high quality construction when you buy a cheap eReader this is mainly where it hurts. The construction quality sucks. Kobo is in the same quality grade as Kindle but the big difference is the formats each one can read. Put shortly Kindle promotes it's proprietary AZW format while Kobo uses the open EPUB format mainly. I'd go Kobo just for that. That said you should be fine with any of these thanks to software such as Calibre that allows it to convert between formats. I bought books on both Amazon and Google play so I rather want to stick with open standards which is usually a good idea.
ooo ooo could you explain the purpose and what these two formats do? Why is ePub better?
Does this ereader still emit bluelight??? Doesnt eink NOT emit bluelight I mean that's the main reason people are getting it and the fact that the reading experience is near paper
It only does with the frontlight on and even then, it does not if you are using the night setting. Additionally the frontlight on an ereader is shining the light at the surface of the reader as opposed to out of it toward your eyes. Even with the frontlight on you can read any ereader for hours without your eyes getting tired the way they do with a phone or computer screen.
@@churchofmarcus ahhhhhh I see ok thanks a lot!
ok but can u put pdf on this thing
Yes but it's slow and bulky like all e-readers
Went on a year long bike tour and didn't have an e-reader and it was painful. I read books on my phone, it was a Samsung with a OLED screen witch is good if you set the background to black and only the letters are lit up so it is easier on the eyes. OLED black is off but when I shut my eyes I could still see the letters. I want a waterproof option, I have the nook that had the first light up built in and it isn't waterproof. Also it only has a blue light. This would be a good upgrade, this is probably what I'll get.
Can it read goole books
Do you mean google books? No, only a android device can read google books. But you can download any book purchased on google books or upload lots of formats like epubs etc unlike kindle.
H2O not H20....
