The Aura was more expensive than the Glo, it's just that Kbbo have discounted the price of the Aura.... I'm guessing because they are planning on releasing a newer model of the Aura sometime this year. And when they do, you will see the difference between the Glo and the Aura being far more pronounced (it'll have the Carta e-ink tech and I'm certain the screen/light combination will be further improved). Your point about only really noticing these things when comparing side-by-side will probably still stand, to a point. I bet there will still be people happy enough with their Glo's even when a newer Kobo is released.
