I got the red one for that reason. The black was described as a shiny piano black and glare was the biggest complaint about it in reviews. Those who had the red ones said the glare wasn't as bad. It is a pearl red under the gloss so it doesn't seem quite as shiny.
When I was first considering the black one I also wondered about roughing up the gloss with some steel wool. Alternative solutions that don't damage the reader are not cheap and sticky covers seemed troublesome to apply. I decided not to risk "damaging" the reader and got the red one. It is working for me.
