I love the screen size and I love the comfort light! I also love how nice and dark the text appears compared to my Aura HD!
On the weight, it feels similar to my Aura HD, but over time, it does bother me more to hold it one-handed. This might be an issue of balance or grip, I've always loved the 'folded paper' back of the HD because it gives me such a nice grip and fits my hand so well. I expect I'll get used to the ONE though. Either that, or I'll use two hands to hold it or a stand.
The comfort light is more orange at the top and a bit greeny on the bottom half of the screen, but doesn't appear blotchy, so I think I can live with it.
I don't like the light adjustment, compared to my Aura HD it is very twitchy and fiddly to set whether using the finger slide action on the left OR through the menu slider. You'd think it would be the opposite with the capacitative screen! Hoping they address that in a future update! Because I love the finger slide to change the light on my Aura HD.
One thing I'm VERY concerned over is battery life. I let it charge the full 4 hours recommended, and then I put a few books on and proceeded to read. I read 2 books the same day it arrived, Dorothy L. Sayers 'Striding Folly' (3 short Peter Wimsey tales) and then 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child', which wasn't terribly long, and being a screenplay, less meaty than most books of similar page count.
After setting the reader up, I turned WiFi off, and after experiencing the vagaries of the auto brightness sensor, I went to manual.
When I woke up the next day, my battery was at 49%. No problem, while not ideal, I had been playing with the reader, and reading quite a bit. Plus it's a new battery and it usually takes a few charges before you get the best battery life.
BUT, I did not have time to read yesterday AT ALL! I was shoveling snow! I thought about putting the reader on the charger after checking it, but decided I could just read before bed as 49% seemed enough of a charge for that purpose, then charge it fully overnight. That was not to be, however, because when I went for the reader at bed time, the battery was FULLY DRAINED!
Obviously this is a huge concern, because I thought they'd fixed that in the firmware and I am running the latest firmware! 49% to ZERO with no reading having taken place is NOT cool!
