Does it require melting the adhesive off of the bezel like on Edition 1 or is it constructed differently? Does it use the same screen as the H2O v1 and can this be purchased on AliExpress?ĥ. Does anyone know the screw type holding the back cover on? I am assuming it's a Torx screw but unsure which screwdriver to purchase.Ĥ. The device was second-hand and had a deep scratch in the screen - will the new screen be scratch-free or merely sit below the already scratched IR layer?ģ. It appears I have broken the glass substrate - if I simply replace the screen will it work again or is the touch mechanism broken?Ģ.

I have a number of questions that will let me know whether to proceed in trying to repair it over purchasing a Clara HD instead.ġ. I've done my best to research this issue but there doesn't appear to be much info on how to repair the H2O Edition 2 on the net. The comfortlight still turns on when the power button is pressed and turns off when the power button is held. The screen now has 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines running through it. Inside, the air is damp, the sound of your shoes echo as you step over puddles, and at the end of the tunnel, in a glowing metal basin, were Kobo Aura H2Os submerged under water with Into the Water on the cover.I've stupidly managed to break my H2O Edition 2 screen but resting my elbow on it after making the bed. Thankfully, as guests ventured in, their paths were illuminated by the light of devices guiding them. Step down to the basement, and beyond a heavy door is a tunnel, too dark to know where it takes you. Showing is always better than telling, but to give you some context for the video below, the Stirling Room had one key feature that we wanted to use: A prohibition-era tunnel. After a few words from Penguin Random House President and Publisher, Kristin Cochrane, and Kobo CEO Michael Tamblyn, we invited our guests to go into the water to get their new Kobo Aura H2O. The room was filled with members of the media and publishing industry, who didn’t know what was in store for them that evening. Guests walked into the Stirling Room, enjoyed some appetizers, drinks, and good company on the surface it looked like a standard event. Our audience loves thrillers and our new device was waterproof-it was a match made in book heaven. Paula Hawkins, author of the phenomenal hit The Girl on the Train, was releasing her highly anticipated second novel, Into the Water. As serendipity would have it, Penguin Random House Canada was also gearing up for a big launch themselves. How do we prove to book lovers that this is the real deal? Well, we make them go Into the Water.

We knew that the launch had to be as incredible as the device we were launching. That’s right, no qualms about taking your favourite books to the beach, bathtub or hotel pool, the new Kobo Aura H2O has got you covered. The new device is equipped with many great new features like ComfortLight PRO, 8GB storage, but one of the coolest highlights is that this new device is the most waterproof e-reader you’ll ever own. Kobo’s latest edition to the family, the second edition Kobo Aura H2O, is the perfect companion as we venture into a new season of reading.
