My first ereader was a Sony PRS-350 and I absolutely loved it and how customizable it was. But after a few years I really wanted a front light, and I got the Kobo Glo after thoroughly researching both Kindle and Kobo here through the forum posts and absolutely loved it as well.
About a year after I had the Kobo Glo, I picked up a refurbished Paperwhite 2 at a price too good to pass up for an extra reader. And I hated it. It was right when a firmware change meant you couldn't do any customizing at all. You couldn't go back to an older firmware either to get around that, it doesn't shut off to save battery, and I was really appalled that I couldn't add my own fonts and the line spacing was so huge with no way to reduce it... Amazon making Kindles longer I would have thought they'd have the most options. I kept it just to get a free book once a month and testing books, but I've never used it to read from, it's just an emergency spare laying around. And I then got an extra Kobo Glo as a backup in case it broke.
I'm now using a Kobo Glo HD and it's so perfect for me that I can't see myself ever changing it for another reader at this point. Nothing newer has come close to tempting me to switch from any company. And by a post office fluke during a sale, I have 2 backup Glo HDs.
