I think I saw on the kobo site somewhere that you can fit 30% more text on the page. Will have to see if I can find that reference somewhere and post a link if I find it.

Edit: Cannot find the reference to this on the kobo website so maybe I saw it in one of the many reviews (some of which are very poorly done) so not sure how accurate that 30% number might be.
I think the Aura screen is about 30% larger in area than the Glo/Paperwhite screen:

Aura: 1440x1080 at 265dpi is about 22.15 sq. in.
Glo/PW: 1024x758 at 212dpi is about 17.27 sq. in.
