Once you've used an e-ink ebook reader in bright light, you'll never go back to LCD devices.

I agree with you, Derek, then maybe my question was silly but I asked because as in a previous post I noticed about the Epson's B6 ebook prototype...

Then now trashing the question about refraction, I'm still with the question about readability of screen between 6" and a 9" when surely fonts are so small in those dimensions from a normal laptop while reading something...
