Of course, though you can try sit in the shade or put say my cap around to shade it (both worked for me), however I rarely need to read in sunlight. Anywhere else (including outdoors as long as you are not in direct sunlight, say under a tree, or if it's cloudy), it works and the crucial thing about it is that is pocketable. I always carry my Nokia cellphone in one pocket, and my Nokia reader in another.
The Sony Reader I would compare with Ebk1150, more elegant and nicer, more capacity, more text on screen, but Ebk is faster, searcheable and cheaper, plus it has built in light, though I think the next eink devices (hoping there are such) will have an integrated led light. If Sony were available last year when I bought Ebk1150, it would have been a hard choice, and most likely I would have gone with it, but right now I do not need it as long as Ebk works. Still I would recommend it for anyone who wants a reader and is willing to invest the money.
