Well now owning a Kobo Glo (note not the Aura) and the new Nook I would say the Kobo has the better light although not by a great margin. Where the Nook shines for me is the fonts which appear crisper to me, the overall comfort and light feel and it is the best reader I have for daylight reading without a light.
Up until now I had always read with the light on when using a lighted reader day or night, but with the Nook I prefer to read with the light off during the day because the background is lighter and the text is very crisp and easy to read. It wasn't a feature I was looking for but now that I have it, I appreciate it.
I think the bottom line for the new Kindle, Kobo and Nook this year is, nobody hit a homerun but then nobody struck out either, they are all good readers with a few unique pluses and minuses of their own. I bought the Nook, I enjoy using it and hope those who purchased new Kindles or Kobos are enjoying theirs as well.
