As of this moment yes. But more and more devices are coming on the market with USB-C. I'm sorry to break it to you, but it seems to become the next standard. I already reached the state where I have more USB-C cables than microUSB cables. While a few years ago I had more mini-USB cables than microUSB cables.

i'm glad i don't live in your Country you are being robbed, in mine the KA1 is only £20 more than the Kindle Voyage.

The price difference davidfor mentions is about the same here:
€190 for the Voyage
€230 for the Aura One
(converted to US dollars, that's $25 difference in England, $40 difference in the Netherlands and $50 difference in Australia).
But comparing these two readers simply make no sense to me. Yes, they're both ereaders, but so different in almost everything else (even leaving the software out the equation)
6" vs 7.8"
Buttons vs no buttons
4Gb vs 8Gb
default light vs default light + natural light
nothing vs waterproofed
large battery vs small battery (I need to put down one really negative thing on the One!)
What they have in common: neither has a card slot. They both have wifi. Both have capacitive touch. So, that price difference is very well waranted in my book...
Yes, I'd have prefered buttons, yes, I would have prefered a card slot. Yes, I would have prefered IR touch (still not sold on that capacitive touch).
But that doesn't stop the One still ticking a lot of my must-have and nice-to-have boxes. Which is the reason I bought it. In the end, it's everybody's choice to make: which reader has the least drawbacks and the most positive points
for me. Because the perfect reader for you doesn't exist (neither for me, and probably not even for JSWolf...)

When reading with gloves on! I always carpool with my husband, so, at the end of the workday, I'm usually waiting for him. And I'd like to read, even if it's only 5 minutes. But in winter, I have to take off my gloves because I can't page otherwise (I've used my nose too, but that looks silly).
