Hey all,

Long time lurker, finally decided to make an account.

I'm currently using a Nook ST. It serves its purpose, but I'm wanting a better screen and backlight. I was probably just going to get a Kobo, but I noticed that their current lineup doesn't really have anything that directly competes with the PW. The only one close in price is the Kobo Aura Edition 2 but according to the specs, has a much lower resolution than the PW (212ppi vs 300 on the PW). That combined with the many sales on the PW making it even less than the Aura turns me off from a purchase.

The next step up is the H2O but is honestly more than I wanted to spend. Where is the successor to the Glo HD? I'm a little surprised the entry level Aura isn't using the Glo HD screen.

I'm in the US so Kindle and Kobo are pretty much the only ereaders easily available.

Thanks!
