The fellow doing the vid asks for suggestions for reviews and comparisons, so perhaps you could put in a request.

Here is yet another one that shows the new Aura and the Glo, focusing on the light. Short as well.

Hope this is helpful to you.
And they STILL haven't updated their Glo. They've left the old lower band on black, which means you can't compare the headlamping between the readers.

In comments, they say they haven't updated it because they want to "show that differentiation" or some such rubbish. If they want to inform their readers/viewers about the actual difference between readers in real life, they need to use an updated reader. Instead they're showing off differences that have no relevance to current-day buyers. Why? I have no clue.

In comments, in response to someone talking about how the lowest setting of the Glo is still a touch too bright, they says that you wouldn't want to ever read on a setting below 50%. Huh? Do these guys actually read with these ereaders? Ever? Reading at 50% on a Glo in a dark room will blast your eyeballs out of their sockets.

Still showing comparisons with different books in different fonts with different settings, too.
