I think if you can get your hands on a newer reader you'll probably decide it's worth the extra $. The screen and lighting tech have really improved over the years and I'm sure you'll see the difference. I have the Aura H2O (I prefer the larger size) and it is a very noticeable step up in the whiteness of the screen and sharpness of the text from a few generations previous. For you B+N is a known quantity, so you know the limitations you're dealing with. There is not likely to be any changes to that with B+N basically abandoning their e-readers (I don't think they every really upgraded firmware anyway). It's worth making a list of features you like and wish you had on your device then start comparing to new ones. One word of caution: if you're watching reviews, turn off the sound if you do any Good E-reader ones. They tend to get a lot of things wrong.
I'm assuming you're in the U.S. in which case you can the Glo HD through Chapters.ca and with the currency exchange you're probably down closer to $100 plus shipping plus any currency exchange fees (shouldn't be very much). Retail in the U.S. direct is still only $129.
