As I first replied, I kept myself on a matter of theory - trusting your words on generic terms.
Today, I saw devices that seemed to keep an E-Ink screen under glass, I am not completely sure since they had a film on it, but the pinch seemed to confirm this new, unqualifiable defeat of common sense. When I say that I saw such things, it is an abstraction: in fact, I saw my face, distorted. I looked in the proximity, there were other E-Ink displays, not a single hint of any glare or reflection. Perfection. I looked again at those satanic critters, dumb monsters on display, and could barely see them behind the fragments of my face and the distortion of the world in the background.
So yes, I may reckon that somebody, for a brand I always matched with perversion, thought it a """good""", if perverted (awareness allowed), idea to put a glass in front of an E-Ink display in something sold as a reader. Little surprise.
I am sure they may """work very well""", for some non-intellectual use I certainly cannot suspect. I mean, at work I was requested by a team «Have us equipped with the coolest thinnest blackest glossiest designerest laptops around: as part of the mission, we have to show them off.» - I have seen things. I have seen more than Rutger Hauer.

For what Onyx is concerned: if some people have note-taking as a foremost aim, now they can use a larger part of Mohs scale. Some will stick to charcoal - their choice. But there comes the time in which one may want to do something else, maybe read them on that very screen they scribbled on. And one will be supposed to want to place a matte film on it. And without such a need for a bloodshed, it will be supposed to be apparent that distributing a device with a high quality, scratch resistant matte finishing for the screen would have been the thing to do in the first place.
