I'd agree with this - I have a Touch, and I recently bought a Glo as a Christmas present for a relative. Comparing the two directly side-by-side, using the same fonts at the same size, the Glo is definitely crisper and clearer to my eyes, and the difference becomes more marked as the font size is reduced.

I also prefer the Malabar font (apparently Glo-only) to anything I've tried on the Touch, either native or sideloaded.

Now I'm just trying to decide if the improvements are worth dropping another £100 on a Glo for myself... if I hadn't seen them side-by-side, I'd still be perfectly happy with the Touch, but now I'm aware of what I'm missing. Silly me...
