There aren't huge differences between the likes of the Glo HD & PW3. The 'essential' features of the Paperwhite over the Glo HD are the ease of integration with the Amazon ecosystem (usually the biggest & cheapest bookstore), insant delivery of books to your kindle, syncing of books etc, better customer service, plus few bugs/firmware updates compared to Kobo. Whereas the Kobo has better font optimisation and obvious support for libraries if you aren't in the US.
Also collections management with Calibre, and Pocket integration. There are a variety of feature differences, it just depends what matters more to the individual.

I have to agree with the OP that poetry would suit the larger screen better, and tub reading makes the H2O a bit of a slam dunk, unless there are any glaring negatives (well, apart from price!)
