Glo HD - better contrast outdoors - what kind of magik-ery is this?
Got my Glo HD about 6 weeks ago and have been really happy with it.

Great contrast, great battery life. The text is nice and sharp and the frontlight is great too - needing only about 15-20% to read in complete darkness.

One thing I have noticed (as this is my first long-term e-reader) is that indoors, with artificial lighting overhead that I actually turn on the frontlight to about 30-50% to get good contrast...otherwise with no frontlight the screen is harder to read for my eyes (low contrast - the blank spaces actually look a little dark grey).

One amazing thing I noticed is that when I read outdoors during the day, the contrast improves the text seems darker and the screen seems lighter! Anyone else have this experience? If so, how do e-ink screens do this? Are they reflective in broad daylight?
