Hello!

I was wondering if there is any reasonably recent device currently available that runs Android and allows proper reading in bright sunlight.

Mostly I'm thinking of getting an Android phone, but so far I read only quite negative feedback on reading on a phone ("below 6 inch is unconfortable") and it would seem that not single android device out there currently uses transflective screen technologies or even non-glossy screens (and I had anticlimatic experiences with matte anti-glare foils on glossy notebook screens).

Is there currently any Android device, preferably a phone, out there, that is suitable as a pocket-ereader, or am I just out of luck without a dedicated e-ink device?
