Yes, I can see a function like being able to swap pages, searching, etc would be important for a larger screen reader, one that will be used mostly for academic books. But for a reader that is mostly geared for novels...
About the glare, there are various devices out there that have horrible glare and you won't hear people complain about that... (iphones come to mind here...)
