There is a condition the reflective TFT LCD displays sometimes suffer from that involves
viewing under very intense light, where there is a shimmer to the text displayed. Living
in the center of Texas, I have encountered that issue when outside in the direct sun, but
it is not a problem, for me, if I move into the shade. Under all other lighting conditions,
in which I would normally be reading a paper book, the JBL has performed very well.
I also would believe that you probably have a bad unit, none of the four that I have
display those problems. I am nearsighted and tend to read using my JBL without my
glasses, holding it at about 8", when using the small #12 font size.
If "Overstocked" will not replace it, you should contact Ectaco for a replacement.
Luck;
Ken
