Uh-oh. This may be a deal-breaker. If I got a Glo HD it would be for epubs. At this point I'm already juggling epub and azw3, and I'd like to avoid adding another format (kepub) to the mix.

Also, I'm not really into patching/hacking my devices. I prefer being able to use my ereaders out-of-the-box without having to tinker with firmware to get what I want. (Also, I only skimmed the beginning of the developer threads, but am I reading correctly that the Kobo Patcher is Windows-only, or is a Mac version now available as well? If Windows-only, then this is even more of a deal-breaker
