The Oasis on the other hand offers the ultimate Amazon reading experience. This doesn't sound like much but makes a significant difference when reading. If you don't mind buying books from sites other than Amazon and don't need 3G/4G access, the Forma offers a level of customization the Oasis can't touch. Putting these two head-to-head largely comes down to personal preference. All while providing access to more than 6-million titles.īut if you don't source your books from Amazon or want the absolute best reading experience at this price point, the Clara HD reigns supreme. It offers plenty of storage space and the non-adjustable backlight can be dimmed - and even disabled completely - for late-night reading. The Paperwhite provide access to more content and has a model with 3G/4G connectivity options - though at a higher price than listed above.įor most readers, we think the Paperwhite is the popular choice. But it doesn't offer access to Amazon's massive audiobook and ebook marketplace. The Clara HD offers a more refined experience offering a slightly trimmer, lighter package, no ads, and an adjustable light temperature to ease the eyes during late night reading. Comparing the Aura ONE to my other devices, I find it about the same for accuracy and speed of annnotations.The verdict for this one comes down to preferences. Annotations work, and work well, but the accuracy of the touch and speed of the devices means that you have to be careful.Īs to IR vs capacitive, I don't think there is any real difference on the Kobo devices. If you are doing a lot of annotations, then I doubt you will be happy with any of the Kobo devices. I don't mind to have less fonts, but I read about worse rendering of images in Mobi? If the new kindle Oasis is the fastest reader, I would go for it, but I'm worried about if I would lose something in the conversion from epub to Mobi. The Tolino is driving me so crazy that I'm about to smash it in pieces. But I need things to work the way I want. I have chosen an e-reader because i need lot of battery autonomy, and a close to real paper experience (tablets and PC ruined my eyes a lot in the last years). I underline a lot, and take lot of notes. The most important for me is to find an e-reader which is really really very fast and precise and responsive to touch. I can live with 8gb and just move back to HDD what I've read well. And I was told that an IR screen should be more responsive.Ĭould any of you tell me if it's so? Is the h2o more responsive and fast and precise in underlining and possibly also in turning pages, than the KA1?Īnd could somebody compare H2O and H2O 2nd Edition? I really like the SD slot in the 1st edition, and don't care about the 30 grams more, but I ignore of the 2nd edition added something important which I should not lose. It's very imprecise and irresponsive and slow. I'm having problem with the underlining in epub books with Tolino Vision 4hd. which is part of why I'm so hesitant to install Koreader (I prefer this firmware for reading certain file types, but it is ugly) The ONE is more beautiful and elegant - thinner AND larger - so it feels a bit delicate for me. I'd say the H2O is better to carry around because of said ruggedness and because of its smaller size. I have both and I don't think I could choose which one I prefer. Other people may not agree with me on that. I like flush screens but the raised bezel gives it a more rugged feel, in that if you drop it, the screen can't scratch off of the ground. The H2O has a raised bezel while the ONE's screen is flush with the bezel. The ONE has no SD card slot, but its 8GB memory is double that of most readers. The ONE has the micro USB cable socket with no required flap thingy to cover it up. It feels quite flimsy - I'm not fond of it. The H2O has a "flap" thing at the bottom that you need to open and close every time you plug the reader in or access the SD card slot.
