Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, due to the fact that I have only just pre-ordered my first eReader, the Kobo Glo. Being a bit of a tech-head and review junkie, I thought I'd post a review of the Glo here on MobileRead after I've had a little play with it.
So basically this thread is to ask you guys for things I should look out for and general questions (probably Kobo specific) I should address in my review, that you wouldn't necessarily get from your standard review sites, though I won't be doing anything that will void the warranty.
Already planned are (EDIT: updated with replies):

Already planned are (EDIT: updated with replies):
- Screen delay when advancing / retreating a page
- Firmware number and general layout of the Home screen
- Battery life with the light continuously on
- Comments on the new, slightly less comfy-looking quilted back
- Ease of turning pages one-handed
- List of any bugs encountered
- Ease of navigating
- Ease of getting content onto it
- Does it live up to my expectations, as a first-time eReader owner
- General durability of the screen
- Thoughts on screen clarity / quality with light on and off
- Ease of getting back to where you were reading, after side-loading new ebooks
- Does eReader settings override font, justification, line spacing, margin widths, etc if they are set in an ebook?
