That said, I don't see why you wouldn't stay with Kobo, especially since you've been happy with your Kobo experience. It looks as if your Glo had a long life; I think breakage reports can be exaggerated in that people don't report unbroken readers.
Since you liked your Glo, why not consider the new Aura 2? It has the same resolution as the Glo, so should be good enough. Its only drawback compared to the Glo is that you can't add an SD card. If that's important to you, there's the pricier H2O with better resolution. The larger size might be a plus or minus.
Buy a Kobo, get a decent aftermarket cover (because Kobo covers are insanely expensive) and you'll be fine.

The best I can say beyond that is take reasonable care of the thing. My Aura goes into a satchel along with my phone, tablet, wallet, keys, etc and it is fine.
You didn't mention your location, but since you are looking at the Nook, I'm guessing you are in the US. You might want to check out the seller Spinningnoon on eBay. You could get a Kobo Aura and the official case for about $65. At least if you break it in your travels, you didn't spend a ton.
Good luck! |
I'm actuelly from Israel (I bought the e-reader online).
I found a Kobo glo HD and ordered it
