I read on my e-ink readers in the sun a lot every summer and much of the spring and fall. I have a nice comfy chair on my front porch for just that. Most of my porch reading is in the afternoon when the sun is on my porch so I have the chair turned sideways to avoid having the sun in my face. The result is sun coming from my right side. It's as comfortable reading this way as it is reading indoors.
If I sit with my back to the sun in a way that lets the sun hit the Kindle screen directly then it's less comfortable but it's still a lot more comfortable than reading on my phone or tablet.
With my Samsung phone I can read with the sun hitting the screen but it's difficult. It's not worth doing. Sitting sideways so it's not hitting right on the screen is better and can be worth doing but it's still far from idea. The same is true of my Samsung tablet. My Ipad is just a little better but not enough to make much difference.
