Want to read in the tub? Then Kobo Aura H2O is for you

We love a waterproofed Kindle and we put one through hell. But that's an aftermarket modifi cation, not a feature that comes standard. If you want waterproofed reading on the cheap(er), then the new Kobo Aura H2O is for you.

Offering IP67 certification (waterproof for up to 30 minutes if the port cover is closed) and a 265 DPI e-ink display that's tied with the more awkward Kobo Aura HD for highest in the world, the Kobo Aura H2O is great for a beach or tubreader who can remember to keep the flap closed.

And starting at $180 (Rs 10,880), it's a damn sight cheaper than a $240 (Rs 14,507) waterproof Kindle. You can pick one up on Kobo's website starting October 1.
