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.

You didn't mention your location. I'm assuming you aren't US based because of your mention of Pocketbook devices.
Have you ever checked out a Kindle Voyage? Yes, it is lighted and has a capacitive touchscreen, but the screen on it is very, very good. Reviews at the time noted the letters seemed closer to the surface of the screen than it is on other devices.
I believe the Oasis has a similarly nice screen, though I've seen more of the Voyage than the Oasis.
