just a question for RobertB:
what's the rifraction percentage of the Mentor? just to understand if it is clearly readable also under the sun for example at the beach in summer.... :-)

B.T.W.: I put my hand on rechargeable battery's suggestion for the Mentor because almost all e-books uses it and in this way we can recharge battery when it's empty

Thanks,

Unless Astak suddenly switches over to a non-eink display in the device - and that would require quite some retooling and, thus, a massive delay - it's a given that these devices will be far more readable in bright sunlight, such as at the beach on a sunny day, than any backlighted LCD display. I've used my Cybook, PRS500 and EB-100 at high noon in such conditions and they're very easy on the eye. (Well, not so much the PRS500, it's somewhat less contrasty than either the Cybook or the EB-100.)
