I am not sure I would find them comfortable to read without adding an external light. Maybe the display color is a compromise between the promoted white color and the actual production units to allow for easier reading under the brightest conditions such as outdoors?

I have a sense your response was somewhat defensive and had the need to tell me what my perception of the device should be. Was I not supposed to ask a question about this issue here on this board? If so, very sorry for that.
Don't get upset, I don't think BOb was being defensive at all. You might be a bit sensitive.

I don't know which device you're particularly interested in but maybe you could take advantage of the "See a device in a cafe near you" thread and play with one in a real world situation (not the wacky lights of a store). Or you can try a Kindle for 30 days and return it if you feel it doesn't work for you.

Maybe you're the type of person who would prefer an LCD screen reader. I'm sure there is something out there that will work for you.
