How bad is it? maybe compare it with normal non-glossy TFT, a glossy TFT and standard e-ink. {Edit} Is the mate screen protector they ship it now any good? In terms of preventing glare and not decreasing the touch screen function. {/Edit}
I want to be able to read it in the park, next to a window but not necessarily on the beach under the direct sun.

The boox has not more glare than my PRS-505. The PB302 has much more glare. PocketBook delivers the PB302 with an antiglare foil though. With the boox there is just no need for such an foil.

Both are far away from having a white background. The background of PB302's display seems to be a little bit more gray though. Contrast and font sharpness of both devices is comparable imho.

Imho not - at least not with a comparable range of functions. The BeBook Neo, a boox60 hardware clone, is also interesting though.

The PocketBook community seems to be bigger and more active - even (or especially) here on MobileRead. There is also an official SDK for the PocketBook firmware available.
