The glo is fine. the led source at the top was very visible. again the screen clarity was fine.

That's a good trick considering the LEDs are along the bottom of the screen.

But the hd was a caddilac. awesome. id get the auta hd. I would just have to. its hands down much nicer.

Personally, I though the opposite. The Aura HD feels cheap and platicy.

the only reason I might get the glo is because it can be rooted. that's not for everyone. the hd cannot be rooted afaik.

The Glo, Mini, Touch and Aura HD are all rootable in pretty much the same way. Not all the tweaks and patches needed have been worked out for all of them, but a lot have. The newer Aura doesn't have an internal SD card, so it isn't if access to this is needed. And it is more dangerous to root as you can't put the original image back on the device easily.

A big downer with glo is that some people find that the light is too bright ia dark room. That would really put me off.
|
A firmware change reduced the light level and newer devices seem to be less bright.

Incidentally im not sure if you're talking about the aura hd or the newer smaller aura. im talking about the hd. the new aura can be rooted and the light goes down all the way afaik.

As I said above, the new Aura is the least rootable of the Kobo devices because it doesn't have the internal SD card.
