Evaluation
Many people are big fans of e-readers and also love to hang out at the beach so this baby will be a welcome addition to the e-reader family for those who have in the past hesitated to take their e-readers along out of fear that they would somehow get wet or get sand in the unit and that would be the end of the line. This unit has no such fears. The waterproof and sand proof abilities are one of the attractions of the Kobo Aura H20. The fact that it also has a 2 month battery capability as well as a huge 6.8 inch screen that is completely glare proof with a Carta E Ink touchscreen ability makes reading just like looking at ink on a page. The Clarity Screen provides hi def. reading and it really is very easy on the eyes. Internal storage is only 4 gb but is expandable to 32 gb with a micro SD card. That is enough storage to store a whole lot of reading material. The waterproof capability allows it to be submersed in up to a full meter of water for up to 30 minutes and that is the key feature of this baby.
