I have purchased a pair of cheap leather gloves with inside insulation. Genuine leather, generic "thinsulate" (TM) lining, purchased in a store specializing on cheap [totally non-brand] garments and shoes imported from Asia, the price was about 8Euro.
I was surprised to find out that the gloves work on my e-ink reader with capacitive touchscreen. It is no big deal, because I also have pageturning buttons. It is convenient when I need to select something from the menu.
Also, a device with capacitive touchscreen might work even in [non-special] gloves when you put it into a ziploc bag or use polyethylene layer. Try it. I did not believe when I was told, but it only takes a few seconds to test. Grab a plastic bag, insert reader, touch screen ;-).
I wish I knew that the touch-screen works inside the bag when I was on vacation on the beach.
