PB302 has shiny display surface and the distributor has applied a matte foil on it.
Photos are made in the room by the window, in the room under lightbulb, outside in may at noon when the sun was very strong, outside and in shadow ...
You can catch a light reflection on ANY kind of screen, unless it is made from black velvet. The question is, how difficult it is to find a reading position where the light reflections are negligible. With PB360 it is VERY easy, with PB302, first generation with matte foil it is easy.

DISCLAIMER:
If you didn't pay attention, I repeat. Those are photos of one of very first shiny-screen-with-matte-foil batch of PB302. Newer batches have matte screen from manufacturer, and those are even better than the one on the photo.

Thanks a lot for those comparative photos! If its easy to just angle the device
so that the reflections aren't a problem, then I think I'll go ahead and order it.
I'll be mostly reading indoors only and mostly at night.

Anyidea why there is such a vast price difference:
Some sites have it at $270+ while others seems to have it at $199, is there any difference between these two options?

Can someone also suggest a good lamp that will fit it?

A couple of sites took part in a special deal for the holidays, others did not.
