Glo owner here

I have a Kobo Glo (to replace my Kobo (no model name, but the larger-storage model of the two original Kobos) that had a screen breakage after an unfortunate backpack incident), chosen because I like the display size, it's about the same size as a paperback page.

On the whole, I am quite pleased with both Kobos I have owned, the first one I had for a bit over a year, until it finally ended up in a full-enough backpack that it bent too much for the screen, somehow, and ended up displaying things only on the top 3rd of the display. I purchased a stiff-ish case for the Glo, so it should hopefully not suffer the same fate.

As a general recommendation, I find Calibre to be a fairly good way of managing the library on my reader, it makes it easy to shove things not bought from Kobo onto the device (that's close to every ebook I have bought, the only one I can think oif that's through the Kobo store is a Scalzi collection).
