I held out for 1 month before I bought my Glo to replace my Touch which I absolutely loved. I liked the better resolution and loved the functionality of the sleep cover. I also preferred a white case because the black Touch showed too many fingerprints. There was a small defect with the screen which I was not really happy about. Also I was never really satisfied with the light because it was always too bright to read comfortably in a dark area.

I bought the white Aura the first day it was released after seeing the black one in store. The black is an absolute nightmare of greasy fingerprints. The build quality is good and the plastic feels nice. It does not make my fingers sweat. The case does however make a few creaks now and then when I grab it. I can live with it.

The larger screen definitely improves my reading experience. I do find the text crisper at smaller sizes and the light is much more useful and pleasant to look at. I use it without a case because I read mostly at home and it is not any heavier than my Glo with sleepcover on. The battery life seems amazing so far...still at 100% after 2 days.

Yes I love it and I wish I never bought the Glo.
