It does add another layer of glare at an additional angle to the normal glare all glass screens demonstrate. That said, it's not hard to deal with especially if you're not inundated by a plethora of overhead spot lighting. A slight tilt generally gets you going. Same deal is required for most any reader at this point (though most are less noticeable than these touchscreen devices.) The glare was never the real issue, imho on the PRS-700. The 700 had a very obvious blurring effect too. *THAT* is gone. But so is the built in lighting so pros & cons I guess.
Personally if I'm reading where I need a light I'd much rather have my iPhone running stanza with a low brightness setting than a 1980's digital wristwatch style frontlight, but that's just me.
