I can see why you'd have returned it. The point of the e-ink is that it's easy on the eyes and has little or no glare. The touch-screen on the 900 reduces contrast (makes the screen darker) and adds glare.

I would like to share my story, however, since I too just got the 900. It arrived on Monday and I have to admit that I was really bugged by the screen when I first used it. I seriously considered sending it back and was disappointed. Like you, I really like the feature set and form-factor. Now, however, three days later, I'm way more used to screen, even at small font sizes. I'm not 90% certain I'll keep it.

Hope you find a reader better suited to you.
