Now with the Kobo Aura H2O you can soak up a good book worry-free whilst in the pool or bath. Water-resistant for up to 30 minutes at a depth of one metre, its high-resolution, no-glare screen means reading in direct sunlight is painless, while its chunkier body proves easy to handle. With excellent battery life – two-months use based on 30 minutes a day – and up to 32GB of storage, it makes reading a splash. www.kobobooks.com
