Device: Pocketbook Touch HD 2
E-reader with minimal coating over the display?

Hi all, first post.

I got into E-ink device game with Pocketbook Touch HD 2. While I'm satisfied with the display quality I notice there are a few millimeters of transparent coating on top of the letters. It mostly shows up under high quality light at some angles. Also at steep angles the letters get more and more blurry unlike paper.

My question is would there be a device where the letters would have less coating on top, which would make it even more like paper?

Also, since this device doesn't use a capacitive touchscreen layer unlike e.g. newest high end Kindles and Kobos I doubt it would be better there. But maybe some entry level device without capacitive touch screen and without lighting like basic Kindle or cheapest Pocketbooks?

I also got a change to compare to Pocketbook Touch Lux 3. Touch HD 2 was a tad whiter (less brown) and much sharper. I'm not sure if both devices have that light guide layer or not, which might explain the coating I see.
