I don't know. The battery ratings for both were posted when the Aura ONE came out. I don't remember what they were, but I think the Aura ONE was a little more than half that in the Aura H2O.

With regard to weight and size: I think companies are going berserk. Even the biggest and heaviest e-reader inside a cover are much smaller, thinner, and lighter than any hardcover book I own. There's no need to make them thinner or lighter.

The KA1 in its official cover is half as thick as my KPW1 in a third party cover, and the KPW1 is already half to one third of the average mass market paperback.
I have seen a lot of discussion trying to find the lightest ereader due to strength problems. This is from people with arthritis or other problems. Going to an ereader means they can read again. Cutting 50 grams off the weight means they can read for longer periods.
