The only possible exception to this is in low light situations. Sometimes, it's harder to read from the reader, but in those cases, I just hit the increase font button to increase the font one size.

I second this! I have used my Cybook at the beach in Mexico and had no issues reading it in the bright sunshine. I have used my BeBook (same as EZ Reader) at the park while my family flies kites and had no issues either. In low light conditions I wouldn't be wearing sunglasses anyway but may increase the font size just to make it a bit easier to read. The adjustable font size is a big part of why I never read paper books anymore, they are so, so, static.
Both of my eBook Readers are 4 grayscale, I have no issues at all with reading the text, it is very clear. Some pictures do not show as nicely as they might on an 8 grayscale screen, but most of my eBooks are fiction and don't have pictures anyway.
