I agree with the infrared screen. Once the Mini was crazy because of snow flakes (I shouldn't have been reading under the snow, in the first place).
But I still can read when waiting for a bus when it's freezing cold and I don't have to remove my gloves. I also can read while soaking in a warm bath (highly recommended after waiting for said bus), my Kobo being in a ziplock bag.
Those are huge points for me which outweigh the snow on the screen anytime, but YMMV.
