![]() ![]() Screen – The Aura H2O has a 6.8-inch E Ink Carta screen with a resolution of 1430 x 1080 (265 ppi) and the Kobo Aura One has a 7.8-inch E Ink Carta screen with a resolution of 1872 x 1404 (300 ppi). The new Aura H2O on the other hands looks and feels more like a budget ereader because of the cheap plastic bezel. Main Differencesĭesign – The Aura One has a premium design with a flush glass screen and it’s surprisingly thin and light for the size. Other Kobos require sideloading library ebooks with a computer, which requires several extra steps. So far the Aura One is the only device to offer that feature, and it’s a really nice feature to have. The software between the two models is identical as well, with one exception: the Kobo Aura One supports OverDrive directly so you can download library ebooks for free from public libraries through the Kobo store. They have the same processor, the same storage space, the same amount of RAM, etc, and both are waterproof with an IPX8 rating. The Aura H2O weighs about 23 grams less but the more compact design actually makes it feel a little heavier in the hand than the Aura One, an unexpected twist.Īside from the screen, the internal hardware is virtually identical between the two models so there’s not much to say there. ![]() It’s 2 mm thinner, which doesn’t sound like a lot but it feels like a lot. The Aura One is simply a lot nicer to look at and to hold with its flush glass screen and leaner frame. I didn’t mind the cheap plastic frame on the lower end model, which sells for $119 and frequently goes on sale for $99, but I was expecting better from a higher-end model that costs $179 USD. The new Kobo Aura H2O is basically a larger version of the Kobo Aura 2, Kobo’s entry-level model. I was expecting the new Aura H2O to be a smaller version of it but that’s not how things turned out at all. I really like the larger screen and the overall design-plus the OverDrive integration is super convenient. Upgrade from an Aura HD which is still available.To me, the Kobo Aura One is one of the best ereaders to ever get released.
