I do like the looks of Aura more, but, that's not important.
Nether is the capacitive or multi-touch screen.
So with the price difference in my country (175€ to 148€) and the slight sharper fonts, I'm thinking about buying the Glo.

I assume you are talking the Aura HD (as opposed to the new 6" Aura -- sidenote: curse all these companies that are reusing names for different devices
)? The new 6" Aura does have capacitive touch (and multi-touch maybe?). The "older" Aura HD doesn't but does have sharper fonts/higher res (vs the new Aura and the Glo).
With any of them battery life will be hugely longer than a phone/tablet. Yes the extra flashes will take a little more battery, but it's not a big difference in the grand scheme of things. Realistically there seem to be at least a number of people with the Aura or the new Paperwhite who are still using every page refresh due to low tolerance for ghosting even though the should both go for extended periods without refreshing so YMMV.
For what it's worth I use my Aura HD with light always on, download 2 newspapers per day (over wifi) and fair bit of reading and I get 8-12 days from a charge on average.
