Some people need to read with a larger font. Depending on how large you want/need could mean that the text is just too large to give a good reading experience with a 6" screen. Another problem that Kindles could have is contrast. Some people need better contrast and a Kindle doesn't allow adjusting the weight of the fonts. Out of the box, a Kobo allows the fonts (that come with the firmware) to have the weight adjusted. So someone who has issues with eyesight, the larger screen in combination with being able to adjust font weight makes the Aura One to be a really good choice.
As for reading in bed at night, it's no more ungainly than reading during the day. You can prop up your pillow(s), get a study pillow, or one of those adjustable beds. Then there is no issue holding the Aura One.
But the Aura One is no more unwieldy then a 7" tablet or an iPad Mini. I don't see people complaining that these sorts of tablets area problem when in bed.
