I've noticed that with artificial light, too. If a lamp is just over my shoulder, I might get a small reflection off the plastic on the Kindle. But I think the commercial actually illustrates the situation pretty well: With an LCD screen (and I've seen this with the phones I've used outside, as well as my tablet) bright sunlight washes the screen out, making it very hard to read. With the Kindle (and other e-ink readers), bright sunlight is your friend. It's different from reading under a lamp, because the light isn't as concentrated.
That's just what I've experienced, anyway.
I still find it most surprising that someone would pay $140 for sunglasses.

Amazon only has a few pairs that expensive on their website.
