Store lighting is probably not going to be representative of your reading environment generally, as they have light sources everywhere. It’s worst case scenario. Whatever glare there is, it has not been any sort of issue for me, any more than on any previous Kindle.
Flush screen does not automatically mean ‘more glare’. It comes down to the specific materials used and what sort of anti-glare measures they have implemented: if you make the surface diffuse reflected light too much, it affects the clarity of the display. But too little diffusion, and it becomes a mirror: the last thing you want to see reflected is your own face.
The 2017 Paperwhite probably had too much diffusion. The 2021 Paperwhite seems to have a little less, which combined with a higher contrast display panel, has made it noticeably better.
