Hi, could you post a photo of it in the original Glo sleepcover please?

I thought of that, but, I think it would be to easy for them to demonstrate it was a mistake. But, maybe it can be used to get a discount.

I've added a photo so you can compare yourself. Glo on left, Glo HD on right both set to 1%. Of course the camera exposed for the brighter light on the Glo.
The 1% setting on the Glo HD is much brighter than the 1% setting on the KPW. I have to kick the KPW's frontlight up 4 steps to make them equally bright.

I quite like how low the brightness can go on the h2o. If the glo hd is significantly brighter, I just might have to pass.

I think the videos show the light goes as low as could be practically useful. The Kindle might go lower, but you couldn't read at that brightness. I'm not worried about this aspect. The slider thing is a nice touch.

The IR touch-screen looks less sensitive than the Voyage's. It's to be expected with IR. It looks about on par with the Sony touch-screens.

You would need mm to tell the difference between 1.33:1 and 1.35:1. If it is really 1.33:1 then the pixels are not square. A simple division will reveal that.

Still using XP, will the Glo HD work with Caliber 2.0 (this was the only version 2 that will run on XP - works well for me/too lazy to drop back down to 1.x)?

Thanks,

I was using a tape measure and don't have an electronic device that can measure that precisely. On the tape measure it was almost right at 120mm and 90mm. Give or take half a mm but you can't really be that precise unless you use a digital caliper or something similar to measure it.

If I recall correctly I was debating weather the tape measure was closer to 89mm or 90mm and went with 90. It was really a toss up on which one I chose.

Does it really make a difference though at that small of a pixel if it's square or not?
