In Sep. 2014, Canada's Kobo was the first company to launch a waterproof e-reader, the Kobo Aura H2O (http://mashable.com/2014/12/16/kobo-aura-h2o-review/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial). **w, the company has followed that up with the Kobo Aura One, which also doesn't mind getting wet, but has a larger screen encased in a thin and elegant body.*

The Kobo Aura One (https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-aura-one?utm_source=linkshare_us&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=linkshare_us&siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-3KsjfxD0mObyIDLYoJJlXA) has a 7.8-inch screen — larger than its predecessor's 6.8-inch display, as well as Kindle Voyage/Oasis 6-inch screens. With a resolution of 300dpi (that's 1872x1404 pixels at that screen size), it's set to be the best-looking e-ink screen out there.*

Despite its size, the Kobo Aura One manages to stay quite slim still with 195.2x138.5x6.9mm dimensions and a weight of 230g. Other specs are up to par: 8GB of memory, Kobo's ComfortLight PRO front lighting tech**logy, which optimizes the reading experience depending on the time of day, Wi-Fi, a Micro USB slot and a claimed one month of battery life.* Read more...
