The Rakuten Kobo Libra H2O is the Christmas present for my wife who is an avid reader. I chose it because it offers all the features that she needs and uses at a reasonable price. Looks good, works well and value-for-money.
The Rakuten Kobo Libra H2O e-reader (S$279.90) and the optional sleep cover (S$59) is available online as well as at key retailers such as Challenger, Courts, and Sprint-cass.
So the two flagship e-readers that I started out looking at were the Kindle Oasis 3 and the Kobo Forma.
Eventually, I decided on the Libra H2O because it offers almost the same set of features but at a much lower price.

Borrowing books from the public library and discovery of books from the Kobo eBookstore is easy and intuitive. I like the recommendations of similar books based on the books that I have read.
The Libra H2O has a seven-inch Carta E Ink HD touchscreen with 1690 x 1264 pixels at 300ppi.
The display is sharp and the content is clearly readable in dim light or in bright sunlight.
