I have a Sony PRS-505 and was very disappointed in the screen quality while reading in direct sunlight on holiday recently. The black eInk was smearing and fading when the page was turned in sunlight. The problem is completely reproducible and I have read a few threads where is has been discussed on this forum.

Is there an eBook which doesn't suffer from this problem? I am in the UK so the Kindle isn't an option for me. I read here that a Vizplex screen is likely to be better - if so, which devices have this type of screen.

I am able to send the Sony Reader back for refund, so I can use the funds to buy a new device.

Thanks for any advice.
