The text on the Aura HD is definitely superior to the others. I believe the higher resolution screen does make a difference.

With all of my Kobo devices, I am able to modify the weight, so the text on them is much bolder than on the Kindle. I have been looking at the web for a way to make the Kindle font bolder. The same font, but it's thin. And the font size is not adjustable enough for me. So I have to read on it with my glasses on.

In addition, the Aura (also got a good price) is superior to the Glo in many ways. I have no need to keep my extra Glo, now, so it will be sold. The light on my white Glo is really yellow, anyway. After having tried all of these, I think I would choose the Aura, if I could only have one. Yes the AURA HD has sharper text, but the Aura is a better size to take in my purse.
