What's this about LCD's "swimming" in sunlight?

What do you mean that the Jetbook can't do "complex EPUB's"?
It's that sometimes you can get a Jetbook that in sunlight, the screen can start to move aka swim.

There is an ePub with images of The Prince and the Pauper posted to MR and it can be rendered with a 505 which is using Mobile ADE. The Jetbook cannot handle this specific ePub. That means that we don't know what the limits are for ePub on the Jetbook. It's currently more limited then the Mobile ADE the 505 uses. That is all I know for sure at present. I have no idea if this limitation will or will not be fixed.
