I've received a Glo recently so I can talk about this one (and how it compares to the Mini and Aura HD).
The resolution is fine as long as you don't make a direct comparison to the Aura HD or the Aura H2O (I've seen one in store, oh my!). I have to add that I really enjoy the Mini for reading out and about, so far the Glo is giving me the same experience, albeit a little bit bulkier
The contrast can be improved with the light on which leads me to my main worry: I one of those who find the minimum brightness too bright (for instance, when using the Aura HD in a dark room the brightness is set between 4% and 7%). Today I've installed the night mode hack on the Glo and I think that might be the way to fix this issue. I'll be able to talk more about that tomorrow.
Other than that I quite like this Glo. I reminds me of my beloved Mini (in my opinion its only flaw is its lack of light) and I don't worry carrying it everywhere (unlike the Aura HD).
