One of the most frequent questions I receive about the Kindle is whether or not it can be read in direct sunlight. If it's daytime I always take my Kindle out and show them.
If I decide to read for awhile I obviously don't leave my comfortable chair to go it outside in the sun. But, It's nice to be able to sit in a restaurant, where I do read frequently, with sunlight coming in the window. Not long ago I was meeting a friend in a park and she was, of course, late so I sat and read on my Kindle. There was no shade so I was sitting in the sun.
On the other hand, a man arrived this winter who saw my Kindle and proudly announced he had the new Nook Color. He proceeded to tell me about surfing the web and playintg games and so forth and I asked if I could see it. Well, he never bothered taking it out of his hotel room. So, I asked him to tell me about the last book he read and he couldn't remember.
My opinion, Kindles are for readers, sunlight or no.
