I visited the local store, had a good try. Although I ordered one, I am still on the fence.
Under the bright light, with low Glow setting on, the background did look whiter. I put a coat over my head, making it a real dark room experience -- a few scratches and nicks did stand out just like those photos in a blog (one nick jumped out, very bright), that truly annoyed me. My eyes are very light sensitive. I don't think I will use the Glow as only light source, because it gave me a hint of dizzy spell.
All my readers have either clear or matte screen protector, they all have some bubbles under it -- when I shined a light and find a good angel, most of bubbles and glare are easily forgiven.
Maybe I should wait until July, hopefully Sony and Amazon will announce their new products.
