The "Glo" feature is not the only plus
And yet, at least for some of us, the front-lighting was the key feature. I could have lived with every other element of the Kobo Touch, but opted for the Kobo Vox instead because I read in bed at night with my partner asleep a lot and needed it (a book light would have been more disturbing to her than an integrated front-light).

The front-lighting converted me from a tablet-based e-reader to an e-ink e-reader.
