Don't forget there has been a year between these two actions. Maybe there was a rise in a price somewhere that meant the Glo HD wasn't profitable but that by the time B&N looked at it, the price had dropped. Or even the screen sellers tried to screw Kobo and they didn't take the bait.

Or it could be that the Glo HD didn't sell as well as we think it did and Kobo dropped it for that reason.

Or a deliberate act on Kobos part to sell more Aura ONEs. If people wanted a 300DPI Kobo, they had to choose an Aura ONE.

Unless we hear from the people involved, it is all just speculation. Which is of course the point of a thread like this
