If only it had no glass in front, and a plastic backplane. Sigh... no new ebook reader for me this year.

I agree. Adding glass does not help with clarity. Unless it is glossy. Then you have glare problem.
It's like they have LCD envy and want to make eink note like LCD.
About higher contrast. Higher contrast than what? It uses the carta screen like the PW2, right? Didn't they c!aim the PW2 had higher contrast too? But it looks just like the PW 1 with a better light layer.
Luckily, it'll probably be in best buy so I can look at it in person . But at this point, the 6 in and high price really kill the interest for me.
PS: The page press, meh. Pressure sensitive sensor with haptic feedback. I think my KK had those. They're called buttons! And they didn't use battery to provide feedback either.
