I`m writing this on an e-reader and the daylight is shining in through window curtains. If I turn the device so that the windows directly reflect to me I will see their semi blurred reflections glaring on the screen.
If I pick up a book and do the same thing there is zero amount of distracting glare. The whole page just gets a bit lighter. This is because the paper is more diffuse surface and has has less specular reflection.
Compared to my anti-glare coated laptop the glare is about as blurred but much less in intensity so better.
Also, the paper looks natural white made little brownish by age at the edges and e-paper looks gray next to it. In this light it would ideally be whiter for a better contrast.
Again, not the end of the world, this is very cool and usable tech but I do hope that if I pick up a new e-reader in distant future it would have even better readability.
