I've been seriously thinking about purchasing a backup Glo just as treadlightly did for some of the same reasons, and I don't think there's a better option for me.
And other differences between the 2 also for me: The Aura is capacitive touch, that my skin doesn't play nice with. The Glo is infrared, which also means I don't need special gloves while using it in colder weather.
The flush screen of the Aura is a turn off for me. For one, it makes the bezel shinier than on the Glo, the Glo's bezel is a soft matte finish, absolutely zero glare ever. And yes, if you have sensitive eyes, it's noticeable. And two, that flush screen means the top of the cover will be fully against the screen. I'm careful with all my readers to be sure nothing presses against them when in my pockets (or a small purse for summer when it's just too hot for pockets), but I would imagine it wouldn't take much pressure against a cover that's fully flush against the entire screen to crack it easier.
While I've not been 100% happy with the Glo (firmware updates that break more than they fix, but I never download them anymore), it's still the best choice out there for a lighted reader right now for me.
