E-ink company are currently working on a touch sensitive layer UNDER the e-ink screen, to avoid this problem.

now that the Ipad has surfaced they are suddenly interested in touchscreens! |
We are still dealing with the first generation of e Readers though they have made improvements to them the past couple of years. I am sure the new technology will correct the glare issue and within 2 years Amazon and Sony will have new E Readers that will be touch screen with reduced glare.
For me I was always told by my parents not to read in low light as it is not good for your eyes. So I always read my 900 in proper lighting as I always did when reading books. There was some good points made about magazines. If I ever went to the beach with a magazine or even a book, I had to always wear sunglasses when reading to reduce glare. Also to reduce the amount of sun reflecting off the white pages into my eyes. It is the same as when you go outside in the snow and have the sun reflect off the snow in your eyes.
