Even though there are quite a few differences between the Touch and Glo (mainly the Glo has a light), the Touches do the job of providing the reading experience perfectly well.

I probably won't get a new ereader until my Glo eventually dies as TBH I don't really want or need any new features in a dedicated ereading device.
The 2 key things for me are:

I can read the text clearly.
I get a few weeks out of battery life.

So far, all our ereaders do this so we have no reason to get new ereaders.
Pretty much the same here. My old ereaders still work fine, the only reason I bought newer models was because they were on sale. There's really nothing that they could come up with that would make me upgrade or pay full retail price for another few years.
