I had an iRex DR1000s and that was the best I had found for PDFs (until the iPad), especially with diagrams and programming code examples using slightly different fonts and weight of lines for showing various meanings.
It too had reflections, but these I found minor and never really noticed unless I deliberately looked for them. I didn't have any real problem with needing a light although I never read in the dark black (but did late at night ok and never found the eink horrible or hard to read)
I sold that and got an iPad originally as it was a more useful piece of kit and I could do more on it, but even just as a reader I wouldn't look back. I think it is by far the best and has so many reading apps that you can tailor it to exactly what you want reading wise. I guess there is a screen shield/filter somewhere that will help those that have glare issues, but due to popularity of apple kit I bet there are hundreds to choose from already.

I remember we used to say "Pick it and stick it, or leave it and grieve it" when we looked at anything new (tech or otherwise) and were indecisive.
