An eInk screen is not the same as an LCD screen. On an LCD screen, yes, fingerprints do show up very easily. On an eInk screen fingerprints do not show up very easily. And if you swipe instead of tap, even less chance of seeing fingerprints. I have not wiped (with a microfiber cloth) the screen of my H2O in more than a week and I do not see any visible fingerprints when I am reading.
