understanding battery death
I understand that at some point the device's battery will die. However, I was wondering: will the ereader still work if connected to the mains? Thank you for your attention.

Yes, they will continue working if plugged in. But, a little problem is the way the updating works. I happens when unplugged. But, I have a Touch with a completely dead battery. It cannot update because when I unplug it, just turns off.

I do have a USB gadget that sits in-line (one cable from the PC to it, another from the cable to the device). This has a button to trigger the disconnect or connect. I don't remember if it just interrupts the data, or does the power as well. If it is just the data, then this should work. It works well with the other ereaders, but I haven't tried the Touch with the dead battery.

Kindle Keyboard and some other devices refuse to boot/wake if the battery is dead.
Other devices will run on a USB power pack to avoid mains charger tether.

Ofcourse.
Havent seen any info on Aura One batery dimensions(maybe someone else will chime in), so you would need to measure the battery size , and search by that.
Battery packs get the model name by the dimensions, as an axample kobo H20 battery is 255085. 25 meaning 2.5mm thick, 50 meaning 50mm wide and 85 meaning 85mm tall.
