I guess Kobo keeps selling the Glo so they can charge a higher premium price for the Aura 6". Which is pretty much the same device but not identical. As there are some minor technical differences. I guess when buying an Aura you mainly pay for the new tablet look design. A choice that every buyer should make for themselves.
Personally I bought a Glo when my permanently bricked my Touch (old model with flash memory).
I am waiting for the release of the new Kindle PaperWhite, which is rumoured to have a high resolution screen (app. 300 dpi) and possible Aura HD killer.
At least, it would force the other ereader manufacturers (including Kobo) to respond to introduce devices with similar specs. What about a Aura HD2?
