Anyway, I just got mine today. First impressions :

1.)Software is slightly different at a higher version release that automatically upgraded to it when I first turned it on. My glowlight 3 does not have this new update and it makes the interface a bit different in certain modes and it is slightly less buggy.

2.)Buttons don't click as loud as the gl3

3.)Has 1 gig of ram instead of 500gs me for running extra stuff if you root it and the rooting process is the same as for the gl3. I don't necessarily advise rooting this one compared to the gl3 because I temporarily bricked the plus until I restored a file,factory reset it and rebooted it all using adb. Even if you don't root it the 1 gig of ram makes it run faster than the gl3 because unlike a pc without an SSD the hard drive is not the bottleneck per se as much as a platter based old school pc hard drive.

4.) Bigger screen is better for me since I read math books and technical books with symbols that are even in epub form not even pdf.
