I love my Glo. It is head and shoulders above my previously used ereader, the K3. I agree that Kindles do have features not present in Kobo (some synch stuff, email to device, 3G bookstore?) but if you never use them, you won't care.

I wanted an e reader with an SD card for increased and removable storage, which Amazon don't offer me. I sideload my books so I need good management features with my PC to do this: Calibre and the Kobo driver do this very well. The epub format seems more widely used online: I realise Calibre will convert, however, I'd prefer not to convert id I don't have to. If I can download in a format the publisher has provided, with it looking how they intend, I'd prefer it that way thanks (from someone who used mobipocket before Amazon bought it: I used to be fairly attached to my MOBIs). I like that I I don't have to use Kobo Desktop at all, but it is there if I want that option.

I read a lot in bed and I don't have a lamp (tiny flat), so I always used a lighted cover with my K3. It noticeably ate the battery. Now with my Kobo Glo, I have the battery on all the time and the battery life is excellent, and has adjustable light levels.

I love the look and feel of my Glo: matt black means no shiny distractions. The screen is clear, and the font choices are limitless and adjustable options on page and type are brilliant.

I love how my Glo shows series information on all my titles. However, I wish they would give us a series sort option to utilise it properly. I also wish they hadn't changed series sort behaviour on a previous firmware revision without warning or a series sort option.

I love the way we get regular firmware updates.

Overall: I love my Glo. I like Kobo a lot. I have zero regrets about opting for the Glo.
