Oh, it's totally unwieldy. That's one reason I didn't use it or keep it. Also, the battery maybe lasted 2 hours. I'm not saying the XO was an amazing eBook reader, I'm saying the screen could be used in one. I did use it in sunlight and it looked great. Better resolution and more grays than an e-ink and no backlight (which I personally wouldn't want anyway).

I realize now that I'm completely off topic of the current thread. I bought a Great Point Light from the local Barnes and Noble and it works great. Just clip it on to the leather cover and it lights up the whole page. It does glare a little though.
