I was reading on my Glowlight 3 last night. I still think these had the best warm-lit screens ever made. (At least better than any other I've seen.) My other Glowlight 3 (that hasn't been updated), that still has the older firmware (which I like) suddenly wouldn't start without being plugged in. I guess the battery died almost overnight. So I ordered a battery for it from China (via Amazon). I'm supposed to get it within a couple days — so it's taking less than two weeks, which I consider pretty good. Hopefully I'll be able to replace it without incident. I'll probably report on the replacement.
As for the GL4, I do like their size and shape. I wish they would stop monkeying around with the firmware, though. I'm guessing they contract out development and want to pay the minimum, so that's what they get, the minimum (and lost features). But you've got the GL4e, so you already know what the firmware is like. (It's probably not as bad as I make it out to be.)
