In Sep. 2014, Canada's Kobo was the first company to launch a waterproof e-reader, the Kobo Aura H2O. Now, 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 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.
