Have you tried adding your own preferred font to the Glo and see if that helps? What I used to do before the Glo was to add my own fonts, but use only the bolder versions of the font, renaming them as regular and regular italics which tricked the readers into rendering bold text.

But the settings on the Glo for me solved my problem by adjusting the weight to max on the Advanced font settings. The Glo is comfortable for me out of the box in fact, whereas something like the Kindle PW isn't because you can't add your own fonts and there's very limited adjustments you can make on the PW.

I'd hate to have to give up the long battery life of ereaders and go back to an LCD screen.
