I know you were asking Centros, but I have both the Plus (2015) and the Glowlight 3 and I prefer the Plus mainly because of its stability.

The interface is the same on both. The Glowlight 3 has a slightly better screen, due to IR. The buttons are nice as is the nightlight.

But the Plus doesn't make me sweat every time I sideload books to it. With the Glowlight 3, I've learned to give it ten minutes or so after ejecting before I mess with it. Yet every time, I can't help but immediately look for books and notice they aren't there yet.

I do also appreciate that the Plus feels solid and premium. The Glowlight 3 is also a very nice reader. Nicer than the competition in my opinion. But the Plus with its aluminum back, flush screen, pebbled bezel and overall solid feel just feels like a quality product. Like if the iPad were turned into an e-ink reader, it would be the Plus.

Sadly, after all that praise, I use my Clara the most. Kobo's firmware is just so much better. And the better half uses the 3. The night light, buttons and extra storage win out there. So the Plus is not used as often as it likely should be.
