But with Kobo, the next firmware "upgrade" is probably a month away, and it is guaranteed to bring new bugs.
If they could just get the firmware right with a decent UI and perfect it and then leave it alone, the Kobo would be a fantastic reader in every way. The hardware really is superb.

I've thought about it, but all I really want from an ereader is to read. I don't need or even want the Facebook and other sharing nonsense with it, I don't want to play games, I don't even need wi-fi, and the older firmware of 2.4.0 has been very stable for me. It stopped 2 major issues I was having with the Glo where it would take up to 4 swipes to turn a page at least 50% of the time, and everytime I'd transfer books via Calibre, it would give a "cannot communicate with device" error (common on WinXP systems with AMD cpus for some reason). In fact it was maddening for awhile until I tried 2.4.0 and those 2 big issues pretty much went away.
