![]() I hate to suggest separating yourself from your beloved Glo, but I think you should return this one too (or arrange to send it to Sameer for analysis in exchange for a new unit that Kobo have checked first - after all, you have been more than reasonable in trying to mitigate any loss, so they shouldn't lightly mess you about). |

An exchange is being arranged indeed. I don't know if I'll be getting a tested Glo, nor do I know when I will get a replacement. But a Kobo person contacted me asking for my address to arrange for a replacement and a prepaid waybill so I can return my Glo to them directly (for them to look at), free of charge. So that's good. I replied immediately (as in, within 2 minutes) with my address, and almost a week later I got another email from the same person asking me for my address... Great. So, though it's being worked on, apparently not too efficiently. No idea when to expect the replacement though. We'll see. In the mean time, I'll just stare at the wall. |

![]() I assume you have your old Touch as backup, or another option? Alternatively, it's back to dead trees! ![]() |

I do have my Touch yes. But I have to admit, in comparison to my Glo, its screen is soooooo blocky and it's soooooo slow, and when I press the top of the bezel, the light doesn't even switch on! So annoying. So basically, my Touch is stuck in a drawer, and I don't want to sell it because it was a present and it's still so young... Dilemmas dilemmas... Luckily I don't have to travel much these days so I'm always near a charging socket, so though 3 days of battery is unacceptable, my Glo is still usable. |

The only done side is that the light is much too bright/harsh. The lowest setting is even too bright really for reading in darkness, but you get used to it. But there seem to be a number of Glo's out there that have received a softer lighting that has a yellow-ish glow to it, as apposed to the blue-ish glow of the harsher lighting. Quote:

Would be a minor inconvenience if the damn batteries were replaceable!!

That's very true. If it is like various Apple gadgets, even if you open the case (probably voiding the warranty) the battery will be glued in with something that needs some sort of solvent to get it out - sensible in one way, as you don't want Li batteries shorting out, but, lets face it, sooooo unnecessary when other devices have easily changeable batteries.

However, that does sort of strengthen the user settings being the culprit... but HOW I would like to know. Quote:
Plus, I've opened up my Glo and the battery actually does seem rather replaceable. I don't know if you can buy a battery anywhere that'll fit in the space reserved for it and with the correct connector, but, in any case, if I'd wanted to, I could have taken the battery out. |
