Re: the Paperwhite vs. the Glo, the main differences seem to be:
- Glo has much more flexible firmware - much more text adjustment options, more file types supported, updated more often - but also buggier on occasion
- Paperwhite screen can dial the brightness down lower, which is very nice for reading in the dark, but the Glo's screen is more evenly lit and consistent from one example to another
IMO I'd like the Kobo's firmware with the Kindle's frontlight, but no such option exists unfortunately.
Edit -- Re: 'blueness', in real life both the Paperwhite and the Glo have a faint blueness to the light. It's only in press shots of each, or with an 'unreal' whitepoint, that they look truely white. E.g. in the attached Google image search, it's plainly obvious that in the photoshopped press shots it's pure white, but in actual photographs it's a bit blue, as is the Glo.
