You could say the Glo HD is Kobo's answer to Amazon's Kindle Voyage , and you wouldn't be far off. After all, it's the only other ebook reader to sport a high-resolution 300ppi display. But the devices differ significantly when it comes to price.

Sharp display; Relatively affordable; Lightweight; Rubber design is good for grip

No expandable storage; Long boot-up time from sleep

The Glo HD competes well with Amazon's latest Kindle Paperwhite and the top-of-the-line Voyage, in terms of price and specs. It's your best alterna-reader if you're not committed to the Amazon ecosystem.

Built-in lighting and sharp resolution; Smaller and lighter than Kindle Paperwhite and Voyage; Superb font controls and onscreen keyboard; Competitive pricing; EPub support

Cannot tap Amazon's ecosystem; and the synergies thereof (such as Amazon Prime; No MicroSD slot; in contrast to other Kobos

I had a kindle paperwhite and had been stolen in a plane so I was frustrated and decided to buy a kodo glo hd instead. At the beginning I was a little disappointed by the interface not as user friendly as the kindle.

I'm a big fan of not going to sleep with a headache. Or, more specifically, not going to sleep with an LCD-induced headache. For years, I told myself that reading on my tablet would not affect my sleep, and therefore not my waking life, and that continued until I began reviewing this ereader.

The Kobo Glo HD is better than the Kindle Voyage . Firstly, it has more pixels. Its six-inch screen boasts an unbeatable 300 ppi. Secondly, its lightweight design makes it the easiest ereader yet to hold in one hand.

Excellent device - good to download free e-books from local library and other websites. Works well in all lighting conditions. Very convenient way to read when unable to visit library.

Excellent purchase, I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great ereader! I wouldnt buy books anymore. The definition is amazing, just as a sheet of paper, the lightning is also easy to set up and you have a great reading experience in day light or at night.
