However, I'm not sure the timing is good. Here in Germany, the models offered are the Aura ONE (first edition), H2OE2 (sold out now, it was the one I had been looking at for a while), H2O, Aura E2 and Touch 2. I see no point in buying the first edition H20 at the same price the E2 model would have cost if it was still in stock, and the Touch has no backlight.
That leaves me with the ONE and the Aura E2. The latter isn't giving me much over my current Glo, except for the nightlight. I'd probably jump on the ONE (even though I am not sure that 7.8" isn't bigger than I want), if I had not read about the ONE Edition 2 that Kobo only offers in the US and in Japan. Then again, the difference seems to just be the larger internal storage, which doesn't matter much to me since I don't keep 1000s of books on my reader (I use Calibre). It's not the latest model, though, and I wonder if it wouldn't be smarter to wait a few months and see what Kobo offers later in the year.
What are your thoughts?

I'm willing to take over the Glo for my kids. If it's really in good order. EDIT: if you're interested, send me a pm.
