This is your quote, from your other thread, on this issue: "I have a suspicion the problem may lie with my beloved tech loving nieces and nephews I was staying with. I just don't have the heart to garnish their allowance." You may not have let them play with it, but as you can see, when other people start handling things, accidents can sometimes happen.

The thread is comparing the Glo and the Aura. They have the same resolution and screen size. As to the processor, the Kobo specs state both as simply "1GHz" but I'm pretty sure they have same processor.

The screens are the same, Jon. Perhaps you're thinking of the Aura HD, which has a larger 6.8" screen?

How is the Aura HD compared to the Aura for the screen flash or lack thereof?

The Glo/AuraHD have 6 selectable full page-refresh settings, 1-6 pages. The Aura 6" has 4 selectable settings - 1-, 5-, 10-pages or every chapter. If you prefer something 'non-standard' there is also the option to manually edit the Kobo config file with a text editor.
When set to anything other than 1-page, ghosting on the Aura 6" is noticably less than the earlier Kobos (and all my previous non-Kobo readers, for that matter). |

The Glo battery really last twice as long as the Aura or Aura HD (the main kobo site : Glo - 70 hours vs Aura - 2 months * which is 30 minutes per day which is 30 hours) (they are a little here, lol) So, yes, get the Glo while they last. You wont ever see a clean, plain, minimal, ad-free with the front-light functionality e-ink reader like the Glo again. All other future models from Kobo will be inferior (more definition (for a book ?), more useless functions, bigger processor, better this or that but then even shorter battery life than the Aura, necessarily). |

My experience with my Glo suggest maybe 40 hours. That is with the WiFi on, the light on about 50% of the time and allowing sleep after 15 minutes and never power off. From comments in the Kobo forum, I think the Aura HD is about the same. I can't think of comments about the Aura. |
