I think the the Glo, the first front light model from Kobo, will always be the best model. Buy em while they last. Next year, Kobo will offer a bigger processor (eating battery), even better definition (eating battery), better OS and features and a full browser (eating battery), better whatever we dont need or use (eating battery), ...etc.
So, the leanest, lightest, most battery effective model is the Glo. From now on, Kobo models will only go downhill and will become huge battery sucking squids with ads all over the place like a blinking pizza.
Get a Kobo Glo.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know the Aura is only 28 hours? Do you have one or are you just going by official specs? Because I don't think the Glo is rated for 55 hours so if they're understating the Glo battery capacity then they're probably also understating the Aura capacity.
