A touch screen can't be anything but a layer on top of the e-ink screen, then it must affect the contrast and reflect more light.

You are mistaken. The infra-red touchscreen used by the Sony (and all other current touchscreen devices) is not "a layer on top of the e-ink screen", but a grid of completely invisible infra-red beams emitted from the side of the screen bezel. It has no effect whatsoever on screen clarity.
