I think choice is good because the AAAA cell in a cool drawer will last over 10 years and are as cheap as €0.25. I've not had to replace the AAAA cell in any pen yet. Estimated life is 6 months. The rechargeable system is about 300 hours on on 3rd party pens and the rechargeable cell usually isn't replaceable. Similarly smoke & CO2 sensors best with Alkaline and also Electret Microphones.

Did Kobo ever reduce the cost of their first stylus? It’s $39.99 now, but I can’t recall what I originally paid for it because it was part of the bundle. Which particular 3rd party styluses do you recommend?
I agree about the AAAA battery life. My original manufacturer batteries lasted forever, perhaps a year or more. I bought two pairs of rechargeable AAAA batteries thinking I’d be swapping them out all the time, and that never turned out to be the case. The stylus runs forever.
