I agree that it looks great out in the sunlight. Something ironic I read on pg. 74 of the Reader's manual though:
"Do not use or store Sony Reader in a location subject [to]:
...
-direct sunlight
..."

I wonder if it's a heat issue thing as it is sort of silly to have a great display that works well in sunlight and not be able to use it there.
