Been using the new reader and (mostly) like the improvements over the prs-500, but am miffed why sony insists on edging the reader with a reflective chrome-like surface. The designers must not actually use the reader. In the sun, or under lights, it makes reading difficult.

Took too long hacking my prs-500 (took apart, sanded/painted and then redid with paint that wouldn’t scratch off) and hacked electronics are more difficult to resell on ebay. Has anyone come up with an easy and possibly undo-able solution? I read someone was going to try fingernail polish.

Thanks for the help,
Craig
