That's one of the things people are arguing about Unfortunately, I haven't had my hands on an Aura, so anything I know about it is from reading here.

The differences for the Aura is that it has a capacitance touch screen rather than IR. This seems to make the touch more accurate and Kobo are implementing some multi-touch features. The other difference is that the screen is flush with the bezel. But, people seem to be saying the text isn't as good as the Glo and is a long way from the Aura HD. If size is important, the Aura is the most compact.

The upgrade from the Touch to the Glo was definitely worth it. But, upgrading from the Glo to either the Aura or Aura HD isn't. If the Glo broke, I don't know. I would be more tempted by the Aura HD, but I think I'd end up with another Glo.
