Do you notice a difference in battery life with WiFi on all the time? I assume you can still manually toggle off Wifi if you want? One scenario I hope the Kobo will work for me is to have good battery life in case of the rare extended power outage (atlantic hurricane season!).

I haven't noticed a change in battery life but I've only been turning on WiFi when I need it. WiFi does turn off it you use the WiFi enable/disable button. After enabling WiFi, I just open the web browser to make the connection and then it stays on until I disable it. Just handier than my previous open web browser or trigger a sync and then connect before idle timeout and disconnect. If I forget to disable WiFi, when the Aura goes to sleep, WiFi will turn off and stay off until the next time it's used which also limits the battery drain.
