I want to upgrade to an e-reader with a builtin light. I have been using a Sony PRS-T1. It works well, but the add-on light is fiddly to position without screen glare and lights up half the room.

I have been looking at the Kobo Glo HD and Boyue T62+ since they seem to have good quality screens, are easy to side load books, and allow plenty of customization of fonts and text formatting.

The questions I have are:
1. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of both these?

2. How significant is the difference in 1440 vs 1024 in the screen resolution?

3. Can anyone comment on possible differences in the overall reading experience between the two? Things like speed of pages turns, pdf capabilities...
