I have a glo HD which I love - however, the micro USB port seems to have developed a problem. I can only charge it with a good wiggle, and it is not transferring files from the computer.

It is only 10 months old so I could take it back to the retailer (Argos in the UK) and hopefully get a replacement. The problem of course is that my replacement would not be the glo HD but I assume either the Aura (which I don't want) or the H2O. I'm also wary of the H2O as the PPI is considerably lower than the Glo HD. Would this be very noticeable when reading? Not sure I really want anything larger either but I don't think that would be a deal breaker.

I have seen glo hd models on eBay from Japan.... Is it worth going for one of these instead? Aggghhh why was it discontinued?
