George Takei approves:
And I do as well. The 6 inch readers only offered more customization options than the Kindle. The Aura HD was meh, because of its thickness and weird back. The H2O was aaalmooost there... and now in the Aura ONE, I finally think: "This thing could be a *serious* improvement over my KPW1 with regard to reading." (All the other functions such as the store, libraries, Pocket, etc, are of no use to me.)
I think I'm going to try this thing.
I'm going to look for how to use a Kobo without connecting it to an account. I have an account with hundreds of books in it (bought during the 90% off sales), and I don't want the reader to download them all.

I'm not seeing much in the way uneven lighting on these reviews, despite the size of the ereader - it would be nice to see a few more really concentrating on the lighting quality.

Even *if* the light is perfectly even, it will probably be better than any clip-on reading light by a *wide* margin.
The one thing I'm hoping is that the lighting works better with less or no ambient light. With the KPW1, I like to use the light to brighten the screen to such a level that it blends in with the ambient light; it's almost impossible to see that it is lit. If there is not enough ambient light, or complete darkness, the screen looks weird though. It looks like two sheets of glass with milk in between, with letters floating in it. Therefore, I always want at least some ambient light.
I hope the ONE does better in that regard.
