And why kind of bothers me - I was watching a youtube video comparing the two - and during the video the kobo frooze while changing fonts. Is that a common things for Kobos or was this just a fluke.

Also the page turn speed. It seems that the glo hd just isn't as fast as the pw3. However the Kobo apparently is faster with kepubs - I wonder how much faster - does it reach the Kindle speeds ?
I've never had my Kobo Aura HD freeze on me when changing font sizes--and it's something I do very frequently. I only read kePubs on my Aura HD, and the page turn speed is fine--it seems about the same as on my Kindle PW2.

I don't have a Glo HD, so can't give any insight as to that unit specifically, but since it's a newer model than the Aura HD, I would expect it to be just as fast if not faster.
