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 have a Kobo Glo and a Kobo Aura and neither of them has ever frozen. I suspect what you saw was a fluke. My Kindles have frozen a time or two so I've had to reboot them, which took a minute and fixed it. I mostly read on a Kindle so if it's going to happen to me it's far more likely to happen on a Kindle.
Just guessing, in the 4 or 5 years I've been using Kindles it's probably happened 2 or 3 times. If I used a Kobo as much it would probably happen to it, too.
Comparing the Kobo and the Kindle side by side I think the Kindle looks better in a lot of ways. Better contrast, more evenly lit, pages turn faster, etc. However, when reading I never notice any of that. I'm perfectly happy reading on either one.
I prefer the Kindle mostly because I prefer the ecosystem. If I only had a Kobo that would be okay, too.
