I think I might regretfully pass on this one. I loved my six inch Aura -- the size, the shape, the weight, the edge-to-edge screen.

Then I got the H2O and I love that even more. My eyesight isn't the best, and the size of the H2O screen is perfect for me; there's plenty of room for white space at the top and bottom, in the margins, and between the lines.

I gave my PW1 to my husband when I bought the H2O and a Voyage. I thought I'd use the H2O at home and the Voyage for carrying around. It hasn't worked out that way. The Voyage just doesn't work for me. I can't get used to the two-toned screen and my eyes seem to need a font size between the available ones.

Most of the time I carry around the H2O; if I really want something smaller and lighter I carry the six inch Aura. The new Glo HD seems to be a not too useful compromise for me. I really wanted an exact copy of the six inch Aura but with a screen that looked as close as possible to the H2O screen while still being edge-to-edge.
