We had a warm day in NJ and I was able to sit outside for the first time and do some reading. All I can say is WOW! The more direct sunlight I had on the screen the better the image. What a delight after reading outside on my pocket pc where I can barley make out the text (forget about wearing sunglasses

) and have to put a towel over my head to change the settings on my reader software. Perhaps I should get the protection plan becuase this baby is going to the beach a lot next summer!
