I just acquired a Kobo Aura One aswell.
Im coming from the Kindle Oasis. It was okay but I tired of the blueish light and the small screen.

So far I enjoy the Kobo. It feels as snappy as the Kindle, although I somewhat miss the physical buttons. The comfort light makes a huge difference for me, even though its a bit greenish at the bottom. Thats ok though, it sortof indicates where the menu zone is

The problem Im having with e-readers in general is still present though. And that is the touch screens; You have to be so careful not to touch the screen because that will trigger all sorts of input, which means you have to hold it awkwardly and delicately. That is tiring.
When I read a physical book I can simply hold my thumb onto the page with no issue. I wish some manufacturer could solve this with a touch-lock of some kind.

I found that if I convert my books to PDF format I can actually rest my thumb on the screen without much issue. Atleast thats something.

Anyway, happy reading.
