My Glo still works and is in use. I got it when it was first released; Kobo offered me a $50 discount and I was able to stack it with two other promotions to knock the price below $60.
I have to say it never got a ton of use when I got it. It was my first front-lit reader and at that time I discovered that I overall preferred the crispness of the text on my Sonys to the slight blurriness occasioned by the light layer, so I mostly used it when the light would be particularly useful. I also stopped updating it at 4.3.8945, both on the "if it ain't broke" principle for a very old device and also because I still like the old front page.
That said, it works perfectly and the battery holds a charge reasonably well. Its current use is as a book repository and very handy it is. I prefer to keep the total books on my "active" readers at under 200; but having most of my Calibre library on an SD card in the Glo makes any book immediately accessible without having to boot my computer, etc. Long may it last!
