I have now had two Kobo Glos, as the first Glo had a piece of fibre or hair stuck inside the screen which was annoying when the light turned on (WH Smith replaced it happily).

However, with both Glos I have experience crashes, and this has always happened while customising the fonts, in particular the line spacing. No amount of waiting, tapping the screen or holding down the power button rectifies this, as the unit seems totally unresponsive. It just requires me to have a paper clip by my bedside for the reset button.

I am sure this is a bug which can be corrected with a future firmware release, and apart from that I am very happy with the device.

I must also note that the shadow at the bottom of the screen is slightly less noticeable on my second device than on the first, thankfully.
