Thank you for the detailed reply latepaul, I greatly appreciate it!
I didn't know about the potential problem with brightness adjustments. I did read that the Glo HD has warmer LED color, which I consider a plus.
What you say about the relative openness of Amazon vs Kobo, matches the impression that I have been getting from reading reviews and forum discussions. However, I'm sad to hear that Kobo seems to become decreasingly engaged in supporting a vibrant community of 3rd party software.
Based on what I have read about the devices respective software design principles, I would also place myself more in the Kobo camp, without even owning a device yet =). Mainly because I appreciate that they allow the user to decide more about their device, for example the side loading of font that you mentioned (a similar example on the amazon side, is that they provide user annotations as a text file rather than some inaccessible binary format).
Having that said, it doesn't make sense for me to buy a device that lacks a feature I think I will be using quite often (note taking), although I would be ready to jump through some hoops if there was a way to get it working on the Kobo... I did read somewhere that it is possible to annotate a bookmark rather than a highlight, is this something you are familiar with and could it be used as a workaround for the missing annotations feature?
