Are you going to read eBooks on Kobo Libra H2O?


On September 4, 2019, Rakuten Kobo unveils the latest Kobo model -- Kobo Libra H2O. With the Kobo Libra H2O, Kobo’s product designers and software developers have added some of the readers’ most loved features — ergonomic one-handed page-turn buttons, waterproofing technology, ComfortLight PRO, a 7" HD Carta E Ink glare-free screen, and convertible SleepCovers. The Kobo Libra H2O is available in classic black and white, with four SleepCover options in black, grey, rose and aqua.
With a 1680 x 1264 300 ppi resolution, the Kobo Libra H2O offers a high definition reading experience. The device itself features a modern design at 144 mm wide x 159 mm long. Coming in at 192 grams, the Kobo Libra H2O is among Kobo’s lightest devices, so you can read comfortably for hours.
The Kobo Libra H2O, with enough storage for 6,000 books, will retail for $199.99 CAD. Pre-orders begin in select countries on September 10 and the device will be available in stores and online as of September 17.
New features include:
Enhanced eBook scrubber: The scrubber has been updated to represent the entire eBook rather than a single chapter. Easily flip back and forth through your eBook without fear of losing your spot—your previous page is noted by a black breadcrumb for easy return.
Page previews: A preview of pages viewed using the eBook scrubber will now appear as you skim. Use the preview page to quickly scan other parts of the book, and easily navigate to that page by tapping the preview window.
Updated headers and footers: Headers and footers display chapter and book progress simultaneously, so you know where you are in your eBook at all times.
Progress bar: A thin black bar at the bottom of the eReader will now help you understand at-a-glance where you are in your eBook.
Improved in-book menu: Swipe up from the bottom of the page to open the new in-book menu. For better location awareness in your eBook, the scrubber now appears as part of the menu. Annotations (notes, highlights and bookmarks) are easier to access, by tapping the annotations icon at the bottom of the screen.
