I have had the PRS900 for over 3 months now. Regarding the screen, I have compared it to the Kindle, the Nook, and a whole bunch of other ebook screens without the touchscreen layer. The glare is there. There is no getting around it. But under most lighting conditions, you can tilt the reader, and the glare is gone. With regard to contrast, obviously ebook screens without the touchscreen layer have better contrast. But no biggie, you get used to the Sony screen after a while.

I plan to keep my PRS900 for some years to come. In fact I just purchased a spare battery and the Sony cover with the reading light for my 900.
