So that is a non-issue for me. My wife doesn't have that problem as well.

Is there an LCD device that is being used as a reader that can be well viewed in full sunlight that has a 6" or larger screen?
I think that's a red herring argument. How many people actually use their ebook reader in full sunlight? I don't. Instead, I sit in the shade and read. And my Airpanel 100 is quite usable for that.
