Yes the micro etching disperses reflections. Prior to the flush screens the Kindles had bezels are were less reflective. The extra glass or plastic added to the newer Kindles is another layer on top of the eink panel. Perhaps there's a hefty manufacturing cost to micro etching. As far as I'm aware the Oasis doesn't have this which could explain why even it's screen isn't quite as good as the Voyage.
