Okay, I stand corrected, and the contrast will hopefully not be affected. However, is it not possible that the coating adds reflection, and might still impact the display quality? Are there any existing e-Ink readers with a capacitive touchscreen?

The iphone/ipad comparison doesn't really help here as both are backlit and have highly glossy reflective displays, which makes assessing any impact the capacitive coating might have very difficult.
