This is true. The assumption that a glass front eink screen has similiar reflexive properties as a phone is not correct, though. Worst case would be total reflection of the primary light source. While a phone screen when turned off is a perfect mirror, a glass eink is not. See attached picture of an iPhone and my Oasis 2. On the phone the shape of the reflector is clearly visible, on the Oasis it is not. While reading you would not go out of your way to angle the screen to total reflect the sun. Both pictures have light off on the Oasis. Pictures are inside with artificial over head lights, not sun.

I don't see how a Max2 is much different when it comes to worst case as seen in these pictures in this post (ignore the words, just look at glare).
