That's a major difference regardless of any white space left...

Edit: This is a calculation posted within the Kobo threads

The Aura therefore displays 1.2759 times more (27.59% extra) characters than the Glo. This is fairly close to the maximum of 28.44%, which is the extra physical space the Aura has as compared to three Glo.
