Detailed review
Purchased in the UK from WH Smith, The Kobo Glo is a really nice and light device and much faster compared with my Kindle Keyboard, the E-INK screen is much improved and very well lit by the LED system at 212 PPI Text is crisp, dark and sharp. The UK is missing out on Magazines and Newspapers but Kobo's own book selection in their store is pretty good and priced in line with other retailers.

One thing about the Glo that some may find irritating is that the case attracts fingerprints despite being a matt finish.
