Thanks for clarifying your needs -- that really helps. You might want to look into the OLPC project. They have a sunlight-readable screen. The technology is LCD, but the backlight is optional, and the screen contrast is supposed to be good. I've heard that there will be a program this year through Amazon to buy one and donate one. The computer runs Linux and I'm pretty sure a web browser will be standard-- I would guess some form of Firefox would run, but it would be worth looking into that.

If that won't work for you, an older laptop with a monochrome LCD screen might be worth looking into. Monochrome screens are sunlight-readable because they don't have the color filters printed on the front of the screen, blocking sunlight.

I wish you the best of luck in finding a good technology for your needs.
