Of course, the device must be oriented, like you orient the coated pages of a magazine or even those of an untreated cellulose book. That glare is a very different thing with respect to the (ominous, non-professional) mirror-like screens that started being distributed 10 years ago and almost devoured the market.
Using an EPD screen requires environmental attention like the rest of the screens, each kind with its own specificities. Normally, this simply means manually adjusting its position and rotation, in the most natural feedback mechanism. Celebrate your cybernetic nature, it's natural.
EDIT: about the application of extra layers on the screen: the vastest majority of them films must be made for glass. I could not find films for application on an "e-reader". I researched for the MaxCarta, which had too sharp dots for my eagle-eye. It would be of course very interesting to find useful products - maybe to reduce the glare further, certainly for extra protection etc.; on this certainly the attention of Booxtor, who may resell them, could be an asset.

Thanks for these comments, very useful. I think that an anti-glare protector, if at all available at this size and if it doesn't reduce text quality that much, would be a useful accessory for Booxtor to stock, especially to protect the screen from scratches, particularly if the pencil is used frequently.
