This is correct for black and white content. Outdoors the screen will still look very dark. But colour content looks fine, in my opinion. And let's not forget that people who buy a colour e-reader do so primarily to be able to view colour content, not black and white. If you are going to read black and white content, outdoors or indoors without lighting, a monochrome e-reader is much better. But then forget about reading anything in colour. However, if you want to use colour and also be able to read black and white content, it is best to use a colour e-reader in the best possible way, which, in my opinion, is indoors and with the lighting always on. Outdoors or indoors with the lighting off, you can read, but with a very dark screen.
But as I say, to focus the debate on using a colour e-reader to read black and white content in the worst possible conditions is, I think, an extreme option that ultimately offers a very limited version of its use (which may be valid for some users, certainly, but not at all for all).
