I powered it down every day so it isn't an issue with the wake up cover or something (like during the first 2-3 months after the launch).
So, if there's still Aura one owners here, how's the battery on your side ? Does the ambiant lightning works ? (I have to hit the parameters for the light changes color every time..). And what about the official cover ? Mine is starting to fail as well, borders are failing (not sure what's the word in English, like the rubber isn't stick to the cover anymore).
Maybe I'm looking for reasons to purchase a new model but that's the first time that I would go farther than the device life.
Thanks!

You problem with the battery is one of your own making. You should not have been turning off your KA1 every day. That's what killed your battery. You should only be powering down when you know you won't be reading for some time. The life of the battery have more life to it if you had just put it to sleep when you finished reading instead of powering down.
You have two choices. You can find a battery and open the KA1 to replace the battery or you can buy a new Kobo. But whichever you do, don't power it down everyday. That's what killed your battery.
I have an H2O that's 5 years and 1 month old and the battery is still doing pretty well. I use it almost every day and I just close the sleep cover and let it sleep when it's not being used.
