I have to agree with this. Comparing the Glo with the Touch, the Glo is a much better screen even when the light is off. That was why I upgraded rather than any real need for the light.

One thing I did notice right away is that the Glo's screen feels more like paper. I don't know if that's the diffusion layer or something else at work, but I like it.
I noticed that too and wasn't sure if I liked it. But, now there seems to be something missing when I use the Touch.
