Anyone had any experience with the Glo?...i would be moving from the NST (no glow) - Kind of looking forward to the light and the ability to (really) manage collections/shelves

I had a glo, bought from Powell's Books online. I loved the feel with the quilted back, and the light was uniform and easy to use. The ability to make various font adjustments was also really nice. Since it uses IR for registering touch, the screen is recessed a bit, but it didn't bother me. Unfortunately, it also allowed spilled coffee to get underneath, which ruined mine, alas. If you want some good videos on the Kobo devices, including comparisons with Kindles and Nooks, goodereader.com is very Kobo friendly, with very long and detailed video reviews.
I'm torn between the new Nook Glowlight and a Kobo for epub reading. I was almost going to buy a Paperwhite, but then rumors promise an HD version with all sorts of other fancy enhancements in the Spring, so I didn't want to feel buyer's remorse. I also kind of like my Nook HD for both epub and Kindle compatability and not having to deal with page flashes.
