I went back and read many of the 85 pages in the Kobo Touch firmware thread. I'm even more unsure as to whether the Glo will be the right choice for me. My Kindle 3 rebooted many times after receiving static shocks in the dry environment of the house in winter, but other than that, the reading experience was good. I was not happy with how little control the T1 gave me over text formatting, it shut-off on occasion and often wasn't recognized by my computer after plugging in the USB cable. My Nook STR has been stellar. Never reboots, gives me no trouble whatsoever, and the user interface is fantastic. But the Nook glowlight has received poor reviews about its durability, and returning it to B&N if there was an issue would be problematic for me. So it's the Glo or the Paperwhite. I'm leaning towards the Paperwhite at the moment, unless someone can convince me that the Glo would perform as well as the Nook.
