I'm going to try it a couple of days. If it doesn't feel right i'm going to send it back because 300 is really too much for "just" a purchase.
Are you using a reading light, and how's the ambient light around you? I'm curious about why some people don't have issues with glare, and others do - I'm sure the issue has to do with the lighting environment. There's got to be a common thread somewhere here; do people tend to read them with lamps shining down with a naked bulb over their shoulder? Are they reading in well-lit rooms, or dark rooms with a single point source shining at them? At the ceiling, or are they using halogens? CFL's?

You know, I'm wondering if there's a business opportunity here for someone willing to market an 'antiglare' screen protector the way they do for PDA's and iPhones, which don't cut down on the clarity - just on the glare...
