I assume you totally disagree with the test results only because you like the product. That is fine. But on that particular aspect there are many better readers on the market. If 13.000 page turns is enough, you decide. They don't call it a dealbreaker but proves the Aura has a relativily low battery capacity.
Battery life (page turns; WLAN off)
Kindle PW (1): 49.188
Kobo AuraHD: 30.457
Kobo Aura: 13.083
Take a look at the total test details, it gives a (more) objective judgement why the overall ranking of the Kobo Aura is quite low.

But don't be angry if you disagree, after all you are happy with your purchase. In the end that's what counts.
My conclusion (for now): i don't need a new reader right now. I can wait. I do know that the Aura is expensive and the test results have - to my surprise and unexpectedly - disapoint me. I'm willing to pay up if a reader is (near) best in class or the detailed test results are very close and indifferent. For me the Aura is of the table. If I want a new Kobo device then a Aura HD or maybe even a Glo is a better choice. But comparing a HD with a Glo is comparing apples with organges. But maybe not so much. The detailed test result can help you to decide which reader to buy on the aspects you think are most important to you.
