I've had my first hands-on with a Kobo Glo, (about 5 minutes in a shop), and was impressed with the screen and light but have a few concerns about the firmware.

Whilst the options for font face, size and spacing seemed very good there was quite a lag between changing any of these options and seeing its effect on screen - somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds! Is this normal?

There was a black information bar across the bottom of the screen. Can this be siwtched off?

One other thing that I wanted to test but couldn't: can the Glo handle multi-level toc.ncx files or do they have to be flattened?
