Slow but intuitive

Kobo Aura H2O relies on a decidedly intuitive and versatile operating system.

In a few taps you can reach the store to download new books, review those already read directly from the ebook reader, download several dictionaries - including foreign ones - and view a whole series of statistics that help you understand how much you have read and how many pages instead you still miss them.

In short, a complete and versatile device which, however, boasts a major flaw: slowness. In fact, Kobo Aura H2O is not particularly responsive, which will force you to be very patient between operations.

Finally, I remind you that this ebook reader is available on the market at the price of Euro 179,99.
