Just arrived!
So, I picked up the Glo HD this morning, and paid the VAT 23% + a 15 euros processing fee! It was sent via Express Courier which was nice and unexpected.
The good news is that I am totally impressed with the unit so far. I liked the Glo although I found it a bit "glo-y" for my eyes at times, and I'd switch to a K3 for awhile. The Glo HD is perfect! Wonderful screen and font, a bit shadier background than the Glo, even lighting, easy to hold. It upgraded to 3.15 when I initialized it - but page turns are speedy - better than the Glo or K3. Really fast for kobo epubs, epubs and even the mobi book that I tried out. I did try to convert a book to kepub on calibre, but the device didn't recognize it at all. I wouldn't even bother again since the regular epubs work just fine.
I do not do much font adjusting, and usually read relatively small fiction books with little formatting, never use a dictionary or annotations, so I cannot speak to advanced uses.
The problem is the Kobo-brand case for the Glo HD that I bought for $30. It looks and feels great. I put the unit in it and then noticed that the reset hole is covered. I am scared to remove the device, afraid of damaging it, and I just hope that I never have to reset the unit! I can't even think of removing the device to try to return the case to Canada...totally not worth the risk or expense.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
