I have a nook simpletouch glowlight. It's great apart from the light, which is really too uneven, with glare at the top and around the edges.

I haven't seen the Kobo glo, but I have seen a Kindle Paperwhite, and it's light was far batter than my nook's.

Looking at the weight, there's not much in it.
The Paperwhite is 213g
The Kobo glo is 185g
The nook simpletouch glowlight is 197g

The 28g between the Kobo and the Paperwhite is about 1oz.
The weight of the PRS-T2 is 164g without a cover. That could be the different between being able to hold it or not if the arthritis is acting up. Just because it has a light doesn't mean it's appropriate in this case. In this case, the lightest may be best.
