The Light is as good as the second series of Glo.
So globally, it only comes to : it has a bigger dpi.
Nope, that is not worth the $.

Yes, it's heavier and thicker, but the "weird" back makes it nice to hold - at least for me.
Also it's faster, has a nicer (and more useful) homescreen, some nice games (yeah, I know, some people won't consider that important in an ereader - me neither, but it's nice anyway
)...
And I don't think that the display is not properly used.
PDF support is much better. I can even read some of my PDF without a problem on my Aura (which I could not on my Touch and would not have been able on a Glo). The higher resolution helps a lot with that.
The higher dpi makes it possible to read at a much smaller font size in general - more text on the screen (not that it matters to me...).
It's okay that the Aura is not worth the $ for you, but it's a much nicer device than you make it sound.
