I'm more of a big screen person but 530dpi at smartphone viewing ranges (15-30cm?) doesn't seem unreasonable, although you wouldn't want to go much beyond that.
Back to the topic, the Glo name is the most interesting aspect of this. I'd have guessed their next 6" model would either be called the Aura or Aura plus a new suffix.
I'm guessing this is a direct replacement for the Glo, transitioning it to new screen technology.
I wonder where that leaves the Aura. It could have been a failed model, but the name is obviously strong enough to have used in on the H2O so why not replace it with this model?
I wonder if Kobo are targeting the Aura at a different audience to the Glo, perhaps as a model that follows fashion more closely than the usability-focused Glo?
