If I were you, I'd get the newer Glo HD instead of the original Glo. The screen is really that much better on it for the same price. I never compared battery life between the two readers, but it just feels like the battery on the Glo HD lasts a bit longer than on the Glo.
For collections, use Calibre for your library (which will also strip the DRM, Google "Apprentice Alf" if you don't already do that). Then when you send your books to the reader, the books are automatically put into their proper collections that you designate by assigned tags and series.
There is a way to use Kobo readers without registering them to a Kobo account, but it's needless hassle to keep doing every firmware update. It's easiest to just make an account at Kobo for just the reader, all it needs is a working email address, and you're done. You don't need to enter any personal info nor any billing info, just don't buy books from that account.
