Yes, the choice - that's what I love about Android on Kobo. I was looking for Comic Book readers and found other (also very interesting). You want solitare/patience game or chess or sudoku? There are 100 and more to choose from

Thanks for the name. I will try it! I try to avoid PDF files on ebook reader but it's better to be prepared and have installed one

The last version that I can run is 1.66 and it works very well on my phone (Android 2.3.7), but on the Glo I get an "Your device cannot support required GLES configuration" message.
Any hint? Can I do anything about it?
No, unfortunately we don't have hardware accelerated OpenGL ES in our devices I'm glad it's not required by too many programs.

I'm not used to linux, although I have a Xubuntu 12.04 installed on a partition.
I'll give it a try ...
Just insert SD card and mount the partition. It must work.

Well, it does work,
but, it resets on every reboot and I have to re-copy mine
The suspend image. Yes, it happened to me, too. To change it permanently it may be needed to recompile MsgE6.apk (original suspend and power images are inside).

The first problem that I hit was that all the widgets I use to put the Glo to sleep, they also lock the screen.
After that, I can not unlock it, even with the power switch.
The only solution was a reboot.

The second problem is that the only hardware button that the device have (the light) is used for "back" in Android, and I don't want to lose this functionality.
Any ideas?
Ideas? Yes, sure. You can look at system apps / modify it. I cannot help you as I don't have Glo and I don't have these problems.

About turning on/off light please search through the forum. I'm sure someone gave script for it. It was like writing 0 to one of the device files. Button Savior Pro allows you to configure custom actions for two buttons - you can attach it there.
