Kobo Glo vs Kobo Touch

The Kobo Glo is discontinued e-reader that was the first to feature ComfortLight technology, which softly and smoothly illuminates the screen, allowing you to read e-books at any time of day (previously, only models without backlighting were available). It features a 6-inch XGA Pearl E Ink touchscreen with a 1024x768 resolution, a legacy Micro USB port, and 2 GB of memory (but does have a Micro SD card slot). Its main advantage over modern e-readers is its battery life of over a month with Wi-Fi turned off. The e-reader comes with colorful, signature Kobo softcovers. The e-reader supports the "Reader's Life" feature that allows to track reading statistics and share your reading, favorite passages, and "Reader's Life" awards on Facebook and Twitter.

This was the first Kobo's model with touchscreen, that gave the name Touch. It's a simple 6-inch lightweight reader with 800 x 600 resolution, 16-level grey scale, 2Gb storage, SD card and travel friendly design. It still uses the newest Kobo firmware (if you want it), allows buing books via Wi-Fi, downloading epub files and copy paste into memory. It's battery life is about 1 month and you can replace the battery (purchase it cheaply on AlieExpress). The main drawback - it does not have frontlight. The model is discontinued of course.
