Thanks for your feedback about the capacitive layer. I also like IR.
I don't understand Kobo's choices: flush bezel (extra-layer) and capacitive touchscreen (second extra-layer). Even on youtube comparison, it's so clear that the background is more greyish than other devices.
This test as example:

In my eyes, any reader is better with at least some light on, and contrary to many in this forum, and depending on the device, I do often read at 100%.

I must say that I do not. I often read at night and in this context I don't push the light very much (between 5 and 20%). When I read with daylight but not on direct sunshine, I also tend to prefer reading with frontlight (which can reach 100% in order to not see the greyish background of eInk screen). But the impact on battery is very, very high (4 time higher consumption). See:

On the half-capacity battery of the Aura One, battery shouldn't reach 9 hours. It's a poorer performance than LCD tablet. I would be very anxious if my e-ink device would lose more than 10%/hour
