Kobo Glo

The Kobo Glo measures 6.2 by 4.5 by 0.39 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.5 ounces. The Glo is covered in a tough-feeling, rubberized coating.

The 6-inch E Ink Pearl screen sports a higher-than-normal 1024-by-768-pixel resolution, with 16 shades of gray.

The back panel features a large diamond pattern, with the Kobo logo in the center.

The Kobo Glo isn't as sleek as the Sony Reader PRS-T2, but it's sufficiently small and light, and easy to hold for long periods.

There's 2GB of internal storage, plus a helpful microSD card slot on the lower left edge that works with 32GB cards.

The Kobo Glo is a little smaller than the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, particularly in height, as well as an ounce lighter.
