I think we’ve been talking about two different things here: glare, which is related to screen brightness; and reflections, which is, well, reflections. Glare isn’t a problem outdoors, but reflections can prevent reading, as can the fact that the brightness can’t be turned up enough to counteract sunlight.
Glare, on the other hand can be mitigated by turning down screen brightness. I can get the iPad to look pretty much like my K2 indoors, I just have to turn the brightness down to the lowest setting, and possibly choosing an appropriate background tint.
I like both of them. The Kindle 2 is light and has a nice page size (for me) and a long-lasting battery, but the Pad can read more formats and the readers have more features (compared to the Kindle app).
Fortunately, I don’t have to choose between them.
