I've been using my KT (firmware .16) more and more often at the park, reading while my kids run amok. I've noticed - purely in an unscientific way - that when I'm sitting in the sun, with the KT in direct sunlight, it seems to behave slightly differently.

For example, when I tap to turn pages it appears to take a bit longer to respond than when I'm sitting in a room with ambient or indirect lighting - I mean lighting that's not full on the KT screen. And I've noticed that the screen flickers a bit when I turn the pages, by that I mean the screen goes all black for a split second then back to the next page. In house, it only does that every 6th page turn, I think.

Again, this is purely a "Hmm, I don't remember that happening when I read in bed" situation, not an observation made by a controlled experiment. It doesn't concern me, other than my thinking that it could be burning up a bit more battery power this way, I was just curious if other have noticed similar stuff occurring.
Your not meaning that your device is overly hot from you sitting outside reading are you? Or is it that bright sunlight seems to be interfering with the touch abillity to recognize a tap?
