The larger screen is kind of nice,,, it does resemble the page of a typical hard cover book much more than any other e-reader. The coloured lighting, however, I'm less impressed with. I already mourn the loss the seemingly magical ability of e-ink to keep on working without needing to be recharged all the time.
This is not normal, I think. My Aura One initially showed a full charge after one hour, so I uplugged it and used it. Battery dropped to around 50% over the course of a few hours with light ~25% and natural light ~10%. Then I saw in the user's manual that they recommend the device be charged for 4 hours the first time. So I did that and yesterday got a drop of about 10% over the same time period (light ~25%, natural light OFF). Trying it today with the original light settings for comparison.
