I have a Glo, but I never really liked it. The type is too fuzzy, for want of a better word. Add to that that this is an old device which has been used and possibly abused (no way to know for sure and what's your recourse if it dies in the short term); this is way overpriced, IMO.
I'd look on eBay, from sellers who make a market in such devices. I still think the older devices are somewhat overpriced, but at least you've got more security. What I'd really do, frankly, is make do with your H2O and watch for deals on a new device. I recently bought the Glo HD for about $90 brand new; for that matter, I only spent about $55 ,on my Glo when I got it new from Kobo.
It would be worth it to pay a little more on a new device with a much longer expected life. And while no one's fond of the new Aura 2, it still would compare favorably with the Glo. Sooner or later, there will be a deal.
