There's no sun glare *in direct sunlight* (and, for comparison's sake, LCDs in direct sunlight are practically unreadable) but if the sun itself is reflected on the surface of the screen there is no avoiding it. (It's like, you know what happens to sunlight when you capture the glare just right with your watch and aim it into your brother's eyes to drive him crazy? It's nowhere NEAR that with the eink screen, but the glare at that particular angle will make it unreadable. True also, to a lesser degree, with light bulbs)
