They're here! I bought a Glo at Powells in Portland today. They've got a guy in the front flogging the Kobos, and he seemed to be getting a good deal of attention.

They also had the Mini snap-backs and the Glo Sleepcover, so I bought a Sleepcover. It's OK, except for being a full half-inch too tall and too wide.

I love the screen. No visible defects or artifacts aside from some slight unevenness along the 1/8" of the bottom edge when the light is on and the bottom is set to Clear instead of black. Sitting next to my Sony 950, it makes the Sony look horrible. I'm going to eBay the Sony - couldn't stand to go back to that dark screen again.
