As you said, readability has more to do with the type of lighting you are using. I found my Iliad and the PRS-300 also hard to read in the house with lights on, only because there isn't enough light. At the same time, it's a struggle to read a p-book in light like this. For me, dedicated light for reading is a must - be it a floor-lamp nearby or a light you attach to your e-book reader.
I don't expect any miracles from the PRS-900 in this sense either. The first time I saw a PRS-600 outdoors I was shocked by the glare. However after playing with it for a minute or two it became a non-issue for me.
FCOL, even a glossy magazine has glare if the light is wrong!
