I see a lot of answers, but I was talking from my point of view and I know I can change the "tap area" but once you get used to swipe, you will keep doing that. Regarding the blue light, the old Glo (not the HD) has some kind of yellow backlicht, the Glo HD has bright light, the comfort light of the new reader changes the light from bright Glo HD to the old more yellow of the original HD, that doesn't mean that blue is filtered because it is still there, the led just change in color, that is not a filter.A real filter remove the blue light, this are just colour changing leds but still emits blue light, does it bother me, no, I didn't like the led color of the old Glo..

Regarding more words on a line, that is not correct, for sure if gives more words but everything shifts, the results are the empty usable lines at the bottom...

Again, about the device myself, it doesn't have enough pro's and to much cons, so I will not buy it, the pro's are not enough to convince me buying it. And the price is to high to defend, especially when you have to buy a sleepcover that costs almost 1/3 th of the price of the reader itself..
