A touchscreen doesn't necessarily have to reduce clarity. The touchscreen Sony chose does. My understanding is there are some touch films that can go in front that are fine, though expensive. Plus the Wacom touchscreen requires a stylus but the touch component is behind the screen so it doesn't change readability at all.

I have to agree on the lighting. I'd rather get a case with a built in light. Maybe integrated sidelight could be done better than it has been in the past but so far it hasn't worked out well. When built into the screen it appears to also add a layer the obscures the print. Plus it's hard to get a good, even light that way.
