1. Great looking display and very nice front lighting on my Glo! What a pleasure to not have to deal with LED booklights and continue feeding them. Once I realized how much I was spending on batteries for booklights an upgrade to a front lit ereader became sensible as well as desired.

2. Third party font support & variable stroke weight fonts!

3. Nice styling, black slider to match the casing, lighter and a bit smaller than my Touch.

4. Organizational features like shelves that can be managed from an automated database environment like Calibre without having to manually place each volume on a shelf.

5. The simple fact that Kobo is innovative and continuing to provide updates -which I am very hopeful they will continue doing even after bug fixes are all implemented.

6. That they gave me a choice good enough that I returned a Nook Glowlight, and didn't bother to investigate the Kindle Paperwhite.

Three wasn't enough.
