An interesting statement. What do you find nicer looking about the GL 3 screen? Personally, I prefer the extra screen area of the KA1. Both devices have the same generation 300 DPI eInk screens and both offer colour changing illumination. There is the capacitive vs. IR touchscreen debate where I must admit that having compared several ereaders, I can see little if any difference between the display using either technology.
On the differences side, the KA1 does offer a much wider assortment of fonts and font sizes along with the ability to finely customize font weight (including sideloaded fonts after patching) and easily adding more fonts. The KA1 will also display epub3 and epub3 fixed layout ebooks. The Gl 3 does offer physical page turn buttons but that seems to come at the price of a massive bezel -- is there any real need for the GL3 to be taller than the H202 which has a 6.8" screen?
