I have seen the same behavior on my 505. Turning pages in direct sunlight yields a lighter contrast page, and I can avoid it by tilting the reader away from the sun when I turn the page.

The operating specs surprise me. The upper range is 95 °F? It easily gets into low tripple digits in the summer where I live, and I like to read by the pool. I hope I am not cooking my 505...
