I never actually saw an Aura One until I opened the box. I was surprised by how tablet like, thin and light the weight was. I'm sure if I'd seen it displayed in a store I would have bought one sooner. WH Smith and Argos are the only High Street Kobo stockists I know of in the UK. I've been to several branches in different towns and never saw a KA1 on display. Argos doesn't even feature Kobo in the physical catalogue anymore.
I can't express how much I love being able to adjust the colour temperature of the light. In the daytime I don't use the light for illumination as such but to change the grayish clay-like tone of the background to an almost pure white, providing beautifully crisp contrast. At night I thrive off being able to get a sort of tobacco-stained aged paper background. It has a more natural homely feel to it. For my paper books and ereaders without built in lights I'd like to find a battery powered, clip-on booklight with the same degree of variable intensity and colour temperature. Just wish I could leave the Wi-Fi turned on so I could search words with Wikipedia without draining the battery so quickly.
