I have just been trying to choose as well, I purchased the paperwhite and left it unopened in the box for 3 days as I could not decide if I should swap for the glo or not, plus there is loads of comments on the screen quality of the kindle. In the end I opened the kindle, the backlight could go really low and it looked really white, but the bottom was barley readable in low light due to the shadows and mine had these annoying bright dots on the screen. Took it back and got a refund.

Went to argos and got the glo, opened it and bright spots, but when I pulled back the screen protector they went :-) ( the kindle never had a screen protector) so just read too much into if you see comments on bright dots on the kobo.
The light is a little bright on min, especially when your trying to get a baby alseep, but I think this will be handled in a firmware update, but thats just me hoping.
The kobo also has a SD card, I liked the idea of this as I have been given disks with loads of free books on.
The font can go so small on the kobo, its amazing, but I do miss how simple the kindle was.
