Pros and cons

According to our e-reader expert

Read in the bath or at the pool with peace of mind thanks to the waterproof casing.
You can keep reading in the dark, thanks to the illuminated screen.
You can store thousands of e-books on the 8GB of storage.
A charger adapter isn't included to charge the e-reader using a socket.
You can't expand the memory with a micro SD card.

Description

Thanks to the waterproof coating, the Kobo Aura H2O (edition 2) is even better protected against water than its predecessor. Handy for when you're dreaming away in the bath or reading on the edge of a swimming pool. On the 6.8-inch Full HD e-ink screen you can read your e-books without annoying reflections. On top of that, thanks to the blue light filter, you can also read before you sleep, without having to worry about having a sleepless night. You can store about 7,500 books on the 8GB memory; enough choice even for the most fervent reader. Don't worry about small, unreadable letters, because you can easily adjust the font and font size to suit your needs.

Best e-reader from Kobo

water resistant
screen size
load e-books easily
choice of material

The Kobo Aura H2O is the best e-reader on the market for me. In terms of size, it is perfect to take with you and fits comfortably in the hand. Due to the material used on the back, your e-reader does not easily 'slip' through your hands. At the front, the material seems to be of lesser choice, but this is absolutely no pain point. You can easily place different ebooks on the Kobo. Both from bol.com, Kobo, Google Play and others, although also in collaboration with Adobe Digital Editions. With this e-reader you can also surf the internet, which makes it easy to look up certain things quickly. If you are like me and like to read a book in the evening, the natural light function ensures that your eyes are less bothered while reading. Brightness, fonts, etc are adjustable. The battery lasts a long time with the right settings, I read about 2 hours every day and after a month I had to recharge.

This was exactly the e-reader I was looking for. The price may be a bit on the high side, but you get a lot in return. Definitely recommended!
