i thought he wanted a recent screen, not some lo-res downgrade ?
"it replaces the Pearl E-ink screen with the next generation Carta screen (but not the high-res screen found on the Voyage and Kobo Glo HD),"
The screen has a resolution of 1024 x 758, compared with ~ twice as many pixels on the glo HD:
The Glo HD has a 6", 1448 x 1072 Carta screen
and the conclusion seems sound :
"All in all, this device is about as interesting as a wet balloon. I certainly don't see anything to make it worth getting. Instead, I'd suggest that you wait for the Kobo Glo HD. It's going to ship in another few weeks"
