Forget the x00 generation if you read a lot in direct sunlight - the x50's [or T1's] are what you need, although they're obviously not as easy to get s/hand.

The "now you can read in direct sunlight" was the big selling feature.

That's why there seem to be a lot of cheap x00's out there, they're not as good ..........

(And I've left all of mine in direct scorching sun - they get too hot to pick up ! - and had no problems ......)
