Glo vs Aura HD
So I have a Glo. About a year or so old. Works perfectly fine. Love it. But I'm a gadget girl. Tell me why I absolutely need to upgrade to the Aura HD! Or why I don't? Can't imagine why I don't "need" to upgrade…

I have both, and, yes, the Aura HD is nicer. And if you use Kobo's own Sleepcovers, the two units in the covers are almost exactly the same size, despite the bigger screen (because the Aura HD cover doesn't have the extra space on the top, bottom, and outside edge).

And if you want to get the Kobo Aura HD, get the Sleepcover from Chapters.ca (online, not in store) where it's half price ($25 instead of the usual $50:

Oh, yes. You need the Aura HD for at home, and the Glo for your purse or bag when you go out. No question! It's good to have more than one.

Of course you *need* the Aura HD ...
1) it's HD, that's like PhD without the P (P's are over-rated)
2) bigger is *always* better (anyone who says different has "issues")
3) an asymmetric back ... asymmetry is the new symmetry
4) everyone needs a back up ereader (I want a "mini" to go with my HD, don't say nothing about number 2 above either)
5) how many rationalizations do you need?
6) in the 21st century you are allowed to heart your kobo glo AND your aura HD

cheers,
andrew

So it wouldn't be considered as cheating on my glo? Good to know!

If you keep then in separate drawers, then they'll be OK.

You people make me far less self conscious about the fair sized stack of tablets and ereaders in my living room...

Face it, we're all here for the rationalizations ... any technical support is just gravy
