So the screen might be important, but be careful about focusing too much on its importance. There's a lot to be said for nice stable firmware with options you care about.

After your post I've watched some Glowlight 3 review videos and you're totally right! Nice screen, but some issues all around with the software. I've honestly always dismissed the Glowlight 3, because I think it's just one of the ugliest e-readers I've ever seen.
I really wanted to thank you for making me realize that a sharp screen does not have to be the most important thing. I sometimes need some help getting rid of my tunnel vision.
I can't wait til I receive my new Libra (I might have ordered both a black and a white one, and I'm going to decide when I get them), and I'm now going to look at the overall features, not just the screen itself (especially since yes, there are better screens out there, but that doesn't mean this is a bad e-reader).
