While it could be that the camera is pointing a light directly at the reader. It's actually a very similar set-up in my living room, with a light behind my seat on the couch.
Panda Rose,
What are you reasons for saying the Sony is a better machine? Do you mean in terms of build quality or the UI (ala 'feel') when reading? Also would be interested to know about glare on the kindle too
Cheers again

Since the Kindle and Sony have identical screens, they also have identical glare in the right light. It does NOT have the glare problems that the 600 had. Even in bright sunlight, it only takes a slight shift to make it readable again. In comparisons with a friend's Kindle, I think that the black metal Sony has the least problem with dazzling sunlight off of the bezel. My silver Sony and the plastic on the Kindle both did an excellent job of reflecting sunlight into my eyes. An inexpensive silicone case fixes that problem.
Opinions on the UI are very personal, but I like the Sony best of all the ones that I've tried. It provides for lots of sorting options and has the most intuitive interface. I like the button placement for page turns and the fact that I can swipe the screen to turn the page. It's a very matte screen, so fingerprints don't show up on it. I routinely swipe the screen to turn pages. I've read four books on it since the last time I cleaned the screen and can't see any evidence of fingerprints.
