The reason I prefer the Glo is not just availability, but the extra storage due to the SD slot.
Both the Kindle Paperwhite and Kobo Glo can view pictures in ZIP files (although with the latter, it has to be with a CBZ file extension), but the latter lets you use the SD slot to put more such files onto the device. Given that PDF's and images take up more space than your standard ePub novel (unless it has a crapload of illustrations), the extra space is much more important... and no, not everywhere has WiFi or 3G service, despite what Amazon seems to think.
One thing I will note with the 1024x758 resolution is that I have much better looking PDF files and CBZ files, even if I don't go out of my way to resize them; the extra resolution helps preserve detail. If PDF's and CBZ files are more important to you, I'd recommend sticking with the Glo. Or going with a Nexus 7 tablet, which does rather both well using Perfect Viewer and MuPDF.
