So, I bought the glo hd today and spent half the afternoon loading my 2000+ books (because everytime I do this some books decide they don't want to go to the device anymore, and I have to go through the usual rigmarole: modify epub, verify epub, try again, which mostly works). But now I'm comparing it to the h2o and I'm very impressed, and surprised after reading so much "much of a muchness" when comparing the two.

The new screen is so much better that kobo rightly decided to have the same number of tiles on the home page, contrary to my old glo and my present aura 6". Yes the real estate is smaller, but characters are crisper and I can read with narrower margins and slightly smaller font size. The screen seemed a slightly warmer white in the sun, but under electric light, the colours are closer, only even more even in the glo hd.

I'll see how it goes, but the glo hd may become my main reader.

PS: it was on 3.15.0 out of the box
