My problem as I always state in this forum is that I had the bad luck and sense of buying a SONY reader... which (I hope they fixed their problems by now!) came with a faulty e-ink screen that "dissolves" the image when exposed to direct lighting ... hence, I cannot read in direct sunlight, because pages "fly away". GRRRRrr.r...r
The fault wasn't isolated to Sony, it was all e-ink screens. I believe they were LG e-ink screens that were doing it. If you search the forum you'll find lots of info about it.
