That was the mistake that Sony made with their short-lived and horrible PRS-700.
The mistake Sony made with the 700 was the awful touch layer. The touch layer of the 700 was like looking in a mirror and it made the screen look somewhat fuzzy. The light in between the touch layer and the screen did not help at all.

Even if you took the light out and moved the screen closer to the touch layer (aka the 600), it was still awful because of the very poor touch layer.
