I'm supposed to decide between the Glo HD and H2O and pass either to my son. Though my wife might get in on the act. But, it's hard. At the moment, I'm carrying both with me and reading on the Glo HD going to work and the Aura H2O on the way home. The idea is to give me equal time and maybe come to a decision.
My first reaction was that it is tiny compared to the H2O. But, it fits very well in my hand. Just enough of an edge to grip and the back gives a nice grip without being distracting (The quilted back of the Touch also had a good grip but I always ran my fingers along the lines). It is very good to use one-handed. I use the H2O one-handed with no real problems, but the Glo HD is a little easier. I have reasonably large hands - my hand is a little longer than the H2O.
For the first couple of days I used the Glo HD naked (I'm talking about the ereader - I won't mention my state). I now have it in the case from my Glo. This is a cheap case but works well. The H2O is in an official Kobo case. The size of the Glo HD means I can put it in my pocket. This is good for my commute as it is a bus-train-bus and I can just put it into my pocket as I move between them. The H2O was is to big for this and I have to carry it.
The actual screen size doesn't worry me. It just means I have a few extra page turns for each book. The quality of the display is so close that any difference doesn't worry me. I think it's going to come down to the size convenience, unless someone else tells me which one they want
