There is still a "glare" if you want to call it that on the Que because you can see your reflection or the reflection of a light source in the top layer just as you can with the Sony. I would think that's fairly common with any "shiny" surface. The Sony 600 is a HUGE improvement over the 700 which definitely had the "air" layer she was talking about but the reflectiveness of both the Que and the 600 seemed very similar to me.
I have a capacitive cell phone which requires me to make a more specific finger touch than the touch function of my Sony reader. I barely have to sweep my finger across the screen to turn the page. I do like the capacitive touch of my Pre but it can be a bit "touchy" on occasion to register that I've made a selection on the screen.
The Que has some attractive features it's just a shame it's priced so high. I'm still waiting to see what's coming soon. The mirasol technology has me very intrigued.
