Touches are actually sensed by infrared sensors around the edge of the screen, so the screen itself has no coating beyond what is on a normal non-touchscreen model.

I was really surprised and deeply disappointed when I found out that this device is not able to handle UTF-8 or UTF-16 text files. Just simple text, what could be easier?

Unfortunatelly, what they add in hardware invention, they are loosing in software. They are stll supporting only english or west locale. Did they ever hear something about Unicode? About big markets in Asia, or Russia, or central and east europe? Probably not. If you take amounth of investment to the updated screen and compare this to outdated, it is really shame.

About PRS 350: The touchscreen display seem clear, no glare but:
a) Glass or plastic?
b) Over display or inside display?
