Kobo stopped selling the Glo HD some time ago - are you being offered a new one? If genuine, then I would take it at £109.

By Aura, do you mean the original product of 2013 vintage? If so, at £109 I would not touch it because it must be quite old. If you mean the new version, then I would definitely choose a Glo HD in preference, if it was a genuinely new product.

The H2O is a good reader, but I found it too big and cumbersome for any serious reading - I like to hold my ereader in one hand - but others love it

Alternatives easily available in the UK are hard to find. Bookeen will sell to the UK from France - its Cybook Muse HD has a modern, sharp 300dpi screen and Adobe is installed for DRM's epubs. However, I am not sure what language dictionaries are installed

From Germany one can get the Tolino ereaders sent over, but they are quite expensive now (due to the fall in the exchange rate for the £).

There is the Pocketbook Touch HD also available via Germany, but again prices have increased of late.

There are Android based ereaders, such as Energy Sistem's Pro HD, but they only have a 212dpi screen (as comes with the Aura) rather than the H2O's 265dpi, or the Glo Hd's 300dpi.
