When my brand new shiny device can't perform at least as well as my old device (especially in an area that is touted as a big reason to buy e-ink in the first place), I am disappointed and annoyed. You're right, plugging a device in every night is not a big deal, except that it reminds me EVERY DAY how disappointed and annoyed I am.
The Aura One battery does not need charging every day. Yes, the battery does not hold as much of a charge as the H2O. But the battery should last longer than my iPhone 6s.
