Exclamation Kobo Glo vs $79 New Kindle Touch 2014

The Kobo Glo is available at around same price as the Kindle and I am confused which one to buy.
I only care about the screen quality, contrast etc. Nothing else.
I dont care about extra features or format support or dictionary or anything else.

Now from all the youtube videos and research I have done I have gathered

Kobo Glo

Pro:
1.Higher resolution 212 ppi
2.It has frontlight

Cons:
1.It has low contrast and text look fuzzy
2.It is 2 years old now and will only get older
3.The minimum brightness is too high

Kindle Touch

Pro:
1.It is a new model
2.It has higher contrast
3.The background looks whiter

Cons
1.No front light
2.Low resolution 167 ppi

If I buy the kindle I have to use it in the night with a table lamp.I have no problem with that as long as it not decrease readability.

Will there be glare if I read it with table lam?Will the font decrease?

Should I buy the Kobo Glo?It has frontlight but it is old and every review and video says contrast is less than Kindle.
Also the minimum brightness is too high.

So which one should I buy?
