With the front light, you don't have to do a thing, there's zero interruption to your reading as you go into dark and bright areas.
Not to mention how really geeky the lighted covers with arms extending over the text look  .
So even for me, while I really want the Sony stability and software, I really want a front-lit screen as well. |
Ahh, I used the 350 and the Mini on buses because of size without a lighted cover. Most transit has adequate lighting where I live. My biggest problem reading was glare from the sun blazing in the windows.
I am in a mass transit free place till October, but I will have to take the Aura on the bus on a sunny day to see if I can still read comfortably with the sun shining directly on it
. I think I would still stick with a 5 inch reader for outside the house, because I always have one in my backpack and if I ma not taking my backpack it goes into my pocket so easily.
