Of course they are. Bad wording on my part. All the PDA type screens I have had are extremely transparent. It's only mylar on top of glass.

Finger gestures are more associated with capacitive screens where a constant mechanical pressure with a stylus is not needed.

I'd say the touch screen is responsible for the poor contrast and glare. You're probably right about the clarity. The slightly fuzzy appearance of text would likely disappear if the touch panel sat nearer to the e ink screen.
Your signature indicates you own the 700. I was considering one as well. Any regrets?
