The Glo is an eink device isn't it?

Mine is a Glo HD as opposed to the standard Glo. I've had nothing but great battery life, assuming that's the "life" to which you are referring. My backlight is normally off or about 50%. I charge it every few weeks, which is no where near the two month projected life, but I read much more than their average estimate.
As for how I carry it in my back pocket, I don't sit on it. I remove it when I sit down. I am using the Kobo Sleep Cover, which is so slim, I can fit it right into the back pocket of the Dockers I wear to work. It is just slightly too wide to fit into the back of my Levi's though. If I walk to lunch, back pocket carry is convenient because it keeps my hands free for food and drink. Also, it helps when I want to inconspicuously bring it into a meeting.
And yes, it has an e-ink screen. I can't tolerate reading for long periods on an LCD/LED/AMOLED screen.
