Glare is obviously worse with the touchpad than without. To say it is better, you must define it as diminished by some arbitrary standard (e.g., "glare is lessened by being more diffuse") even though it is more objectionable in the real world.

Putting a relatively cheap touchscreen on top of a relatively expensive eInk screen is probably a technological mismatch for many users. The reflective properties of the screen are really damaged because incident light must pass through the touchscreen layer twice. And constantly providing interactive feedback reveals the poor refresh rate of eInk and negates the low power advantages.
