![]() ![]() I would really like to use my Kobo to read Overdrive books. It seems that something needs to be fixed on the software end and not the user end. I've seen many posts on different forums about people having this exact same problem. I have searched for answers and tried things suggested on various forums - restoring to factory settings, using an older version of ADE, reauthorizing the Kobo, making sure the Kobo is completely powered off before trying to download a new book. My Adobe ID is authorized in ADE and I can see that my ID is authorized in the settings on my Kobo. When I try to open it, I get the message in the image. ![]() It even looks like the book downloads to the device. I've followed all the steps to get Overdrive books on my Kobo. I have a Kobo Aura and I'm using ADE 4.5. The Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2 sells for $179 in the US and $199 in Canada.Adding to this thread because I've had a similar problem. Price – In terms of price, the Kobo Aura One sells for $229 in the US and $249 in Canada. OverDrive – The Kobo Aura One has OverDrive support built-in to easily download free library ebooks directly to the device without having to use a computer or other device. The Aura One weighs 230 grams and measure 195 x 138 x 6.9 mm. Size – The Aura H2O weighs 207 grams and measures 172 x 129 x 8.8 mm. The Aura One also has a wider range of brightness settings and it adds a brightness sensor to automatically adjust the frontlight based on the amount of ambient lighting available. Both have capacitive touchscreens but something about the glass layer on the Aura One makes the screen appear clearer, whereas the H2O looks a bit duller and the background is noticeably darker and grayer by comparison, both with the frontlights on and off.įrontlights – Even though both Kobos have frontlights with adjustable color temperature, the colors are a lot different between them at both ends of the spectrum (see video starting at 1:40). Screen – The Aura H2O has a 6.8-inch E Ink Carta screen with a resolution of 1430 x 1080 (265 ppi) and the Kobo Aura One has a 7.8-inch E Ink Carta screen with a resolution of 1872 x 1404 (300 ppi). The new Aura H2O on the other hands looks and feels more like a budget ereader because of the cheap plastic bezel. Main Differencesĭesign – The Aura One has a premium design with a flush glass screen and it’s surprisingly thin and light for the size. Other Kobos require sideloading library ebooks with a computer, which requires several extra steps. So far the Aura One is the only device to offer that feature, and it’s a really nice feature to have. The software between the two models is identical as well, with one exception: the Kobo Aura One supports OverDrive directly so you can download library ebooks for free from public libraries through the Kobo store. They have the same processor, the same storage space, the same amount of RAM, etc, and both are waterproof with an IPX8 rating. ![]() The Aura H2O weighs about 23 grams less but the more compact design actually makes it feel a little heavier in the hand than the Aura One, an unexpected twist.Īside from the screen, the internal hardware is virtually identical between the two models so there’s not much to say there. It’s 2 mm thinner, which doesn’t sound like a lot but it feels like a lot. The Aura One is simply a lot nicer to look at and to hold with its flush glass screen and leaner frame. I didn’t mind the cheap plastic frame on the lower end model, which sells for $119 and frequently goes on sale for $99, but I was expecting better from a higher-end model that costs $179 USD. The new Kobo Aura H2O is basically a larger version of the Kobo Aura 2, Kobo’s entry-level model. I was expecting the new Aura H2O to be a smaller version of it but that’s not how things turned out at all. I really like the larger screen and the overall design-plus the OverDrive integration is super convenient. To me, the Kobo Aura One is one of the best ereaders to ever get released. ![]()
