3) I don't like devices with garish branding, which the Kobo H2O had.
The One doesn't have any of those issues, the back is very well textured to provide a better grip, but not be annoying to touch. The front is a solid color, save for where it's designed not to be (the logo and the light sensor). And the branding is subtle.
I also have pockets big enough to fit the One, though they are jacket pockets.
In short, I am the antithesis of JSWolf.

Hmmm... that black on black Kobo logo on the front of the H2O was garish? Or the mid-gray logos on the back which I only see when I take my H20 out of it's cover. By comparison the Rakuten/Kobo logo on the front of my Aura One is more noticeable and the intaglio Rakuten/Kobo logo on the back more noticeable and also annoying when I hold my Aura One left handed without a cover (I tend to swap left and right hands while reading).
Makes me feel old when I realize how the meaning of garish has changed. Reminds me of reading a newspaper account of one set of my multi-great-grandparents wedding where it was described as an awful ceremony while the groom and bride were described as pompous.
