![]() Suffice it to say, I think I will stick with ebay listings. (The item in question was found here: and the store page was here: - both now lead to 404 pages). Two days later, their store had closed and all of their inventory was gone, so I think I may have narrowly dodged a scam. I actually messaged a seller last Monday regarding a screen on aliexpress. This is what's making me nervous to order. MacZap discusses this in further detail on this post. That screen seems to have a different part number (ED068OG1 rather than ED068TG1) but I am not having trouble finding listings - there are plenty - I am looking for more information about this "waveform" value that would supposedly make these replacement screens not work properly with my device. Thanks for your response JSWolf, I appreciate it. My Kobo Aura H20 is much better with the infrared screen which I why I say it’s the better Kobo model.You could ask the seller for the screen with the value you are looking for. This is unacceptable.ĭon’t get me wrong, for the cost, it’s great and it definitely fills a much needed hole but I can’t be but disappointed in the screen quality. Highlighting is still a chore, responsiveness is still a bit slow, I still got a few freezes and I had to sometimes press twice on a certain application to launch it. The second issue is that despite this being a new model running the latest software, it’s still nowhere near as fast, smooth and fluid as my Kindle. The lighting also was not evenly distributed on both models and while using night mode, I saw that the higher you turn up night color lever, you start getting different color hues on the bottom (try it) which was a disaster to say the least.

The text was washed, not bold enough and didn’t pop out as it does with My Voyage. My main gripe is with the screen quality and after going through 2 different Aura ONE models and extensively using both, I realized the screen was nowhere near on par with my Kindle Voyage. I personally prefer reading on a Kobo as opposed to Kindle. ![]() I also agree that indexing is better on a Kobo. I agree, the Aura One is a much better overall deal consider the features, size, customization and price. ![]() (You have to delete the index folder and replace it with an empty file of the same name).Īs someone who has used multiple Kobo and multiple Kindle e-ink devices, Kobo is a better choice, both for hardware and software. Personally, I turn off indexing on my Kindles because of this problem but Amazon does not make this easy. Amazon knows they have a problem (look at the google results) and they’ve done nothing to fix it. IMHO, what’s worse is that this is a problem that has existed since the Kindle’s birth. 1 x Leather Case For Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2.

In my experience, adding a thousand sideloaded books takes about 5 – 10 minutes to index on either the H2O or the Aura One. Now google Kobo indexing problem and you’ll find few issues. Even if the index doesn’t fail, it can take hours to index large numbers of sideloaded books. Kindle doesn’t *tell* you that the index has failed, the device just slows down and eats battery life. You’ll see that “stuck books” (where indexing fails) is a problem, especially when sideloading lots of books. If you’re unfamiliar with Kindle’s indexing issues, you can see the problem for yourself by simply Googling Kindle indexing problem. There’s also one other factor that doesn’t get discussed much in the Kobo vs Kindle debate and that’s indexing. FWIW, the screen quality of *my* Aura One is every bit as good as my Kindle Voyage and the larger size makes the KA1 screen (much) much better.Īdd in the far better typography controls, double the storage AND the cheaper price (when converted to US dollars) and I’d choose the Kobo Aura One over the Kindle Voyage, any day.
