One thing you should be aware of is that when you've loaded a page in landscape mode you'll see the top 1/2 of the page as expected. To see the bottom half you will have to drag the page on the screen. For me, I just put my finger at the bottom left corner and drag to the top left. It helps if you have fingernails but you certainly don't need the stylus. I rarely use the stylus for anything except for annotating and drawing.
I have an antiglare screen I purchased commercially which works pretty well. Glare is significantly reduced with minor loss if screen contrast.
I haven't tried RSS feeds yet since I generally don't have wireless available. I'd be curious as to how well that works. I do have Calibre set up to gather various feeds. I connect the reader to the computer for about 10 minutes before going to work and have various feeds automatically downloaded to the computer.

With the new firmware, you can configure your buttons to move around the pdf on the screen, so you don't have to use the stylus or your fingernails anymore. I love that feature!
