This is built in obsolence of the finest kind and I hate it from the bottom of my hear!

Worst thing is one of the foremost German reviewers asks for the stuff and calls readers with a hard plastic shell "slippery" and "cheap feeling".
If this is the same coating as on Kindle Paperwhites, I haven't noticed any degradation/stickiness even after 6 years of use (PW2).

Iirc, the Kobo Glo HD has this as well and mine appears to be fine, too.
