No, I would not. Because even though glow light is really awsome, but it is functionally replacable by the external light (eventhough with inferior eye experience, but you can still read like fine). But for the better system stability and pdf reading features which prs has, you can't find anything else to functionally replace them. Plus, prs is now much cheaper.

Also, if you are looking to buy a new reader, I suggest you to stay patient a little bit more, see what sony's next reader mode is like. I think sony will likely to add all the physical features that has made kobo glo stand out, if they want to attract users to stay in market. But the problem is we just don't know when they will release a new model.

Also, since each person has different in needs, if you are not a frequent or hard core pdf reader (and don't read epub from languages like Chinese) and you don't want to wait, you might consider kobo glo. However, again, if you ask me to choose between them, I would personally go with the prs reader.

Also, thx to jackie to teach me sth which I did not know about kobo. I really appreciate the corrections and tips you provided.
