The Kobo Aura screen wasn't good enough. They tried an ereader with a capacitive touch screen but although the light is great, the screen is darker and less crisp compared to the competition. Therefore, upgrading to the Glo HD from the Aura is likely to be a good move, anyone with an Aura should notice an improvement to how the screen looks.
However, I don't think people should get too tied up in comparing it to the Kindle Voyage screen. IMHO I wouldn't expect the screen of the Glo HD to be as crisp and clear as the Kindle Voyage (or the Aura H2O), as its probably a slightly unfair comparison. Doesn't the competitive price of the Glo HD suggest its significantly cheaper to make than the Voyage? So while the Glo HD does have the improved resolution and Carta e-ink screen of the Voyage, its probably lacking in other aspects.
The fact is, it's been priced to beat the Kindle Paperwhite, so that's what it should be measured against. The fact that the screen might even be nearly as good as the Voyage (and the light better?) is a bonus.
