According to our e-reader expert
With the Kobo Libra H2O, you can read your favorite books in one go. Thanks to the ergonomic design, you can comfortably hold the e-reader for a longer period of time. At a sunny holiday destination, you won't be bothered by reflections on the 7-inch Full HD e-ink screen. Thanks to the waterproof casing, you can take the Kobo Libra to the pool or on less sunny vacations. The comfort of your eyes has also been taken into consideration, because thanks to ComfortLight Pro, the screen backlight automatically adjusts to the ambient light. You can fall asleep more easily thanks to the blue light filter. Don't worry about small, unreadable letters, because you can easily adjust the font size and the font itself to your liking.
Note: you need to set up a Kobo account to use a Kobo e-reader.

In recent years I have been very satisfied with the Kobo Aura One. The size of the Aura One in combination with the screen quality and the backlight more than made up for the price difference compared to other Kobo e-readers. Much to my regret, I recently sat down on my Aura One and unfortunately it did not survive. So I had to look for a replacement.
In the denouement of my search, there was a battle between two models: the Kobo Libra H2O and the Kobo Forma. Apart from the recessed screen, the models differ only in price and size. Because there are no other differences between the two models, my choice ultimately fell on saving €100.
I have now owned the Libra for several weeks and have not regretted the choice for a moment. The wider rim makes the Libra much more comfortable to hold than the old Aura One and the buttons are a really great addition. In addition, I notice that I personally find the slightly smaller screen much more pleasant to read. I am also more inclined to take the Libra on the road.
Although it remains a very sad incident, I am now so satisfied with the Libra H2O that it considerably eases the pain of losing the Aura One.

I recommend the ereader.
In the past week I have been able to enjoy my new eReader.
The e-reader fits nicely in the hand.
I have set my eReader to portrait mode, so I can also easily read lying or on my side without the screen rotating. Because you can easily turn the eReader, it is also possible to use the buttons on the left or right. I alternate this while reading, because when I lie on my left side I find reading with the left easier. Rotating the screen is smooth and fast.
You can set the brightness in terms of light for yourself, so that reading ebooks becomes even more enjoyable. To also read in the evening, you can reduce the blue light and set it to your own liking. It is also possible to set a bedtime so that the ereader gradually reduces the blue light.
I have easily put my old ebooks on the ereader via the computer. Recently I also bought an Ebook via bol.com and by synchronizing my eReader the new ebooks were quickly on my eReader. Unfortunately, before buying from other stores you always have to connect your eReader to your computer. This is not a problem for me, but it is a drawback that you cannot send your ebook to the eReader in any other way.
At the moment, after a week of intensive use, I am very satisfied with my new ereader.
