When the Glo HD was first released here in Canada, the firmware that it updated with on setup had some.... flaws that made the device noticeably slower. Sorry, I don't remember the version numbers involved, but the issue was that page turns would be slow to respond if the device had been idle for over a minute.

Responsiveness was made a pretty big priority in the follow up patches, however, and now my GloHD feels even snappier and more responsive than the Amazon PW2 or PW3, (with the exception of opening a large image in a book, which is still slower in Kobo (Kepub.)
