I'm a bit late to this thread, but I have just replaced my seven year old Glo HD with a Clara 2E because the battery life on the Glo HD was starting to get a bit short. I ordered the Clara 2E from Kobo in the UK on 21 December, and it arrived on 24 December, which is pretty good.

The Clara 2E is a bit thinner and light, which is nice, and the display is a bit better. I have "natural light" set to auto and I like this feature much more than I expected - it makes reading last thing at night or first thing in the morning more pleasant. Waterproofing is nice to have.

My one complaint is that the back is a bit slippery. In contrast, the Glo HD has a grippier soft touch back, and my even older Glo also has a grippy front. I think this is very useful when reading in places where I really wouldn't want to drop my Kobo, for example on public transport.
