I really should check in here more often. I only learned about the Glo from a review I just read.

I was really considering the PW but don't care with the skimpy 2GB storage that seems to have become the ereader standard. Yes, I know that still holds a lot of books and yes, I know about the "cloud", which is not always available to us in the sticks.

Having a card slot just makes too much sense.

Now I understand from a post above that it has a browser? I realize it's still BW but I do get frustrated trying to read forums formatted for full-sized computers on my smartphone.

I was told the Kindle Keyboard had a browser but most said it's not really that great. I wonder if this one is better.

Here's one of my dumb questions: could Calibre convert Kindle format books into a format I could load into this Kobo device? I've got my reservations about Kindle hardware but I've had mostly positive experiences buying my ebooks from Amazon.
