prs-600 cannot page in sunlight !

Hi,

I'm a long time lurker on this forum.
After enjoying a Cybook Gen3 very much for a couple of years, I say the new features of the Sony prs-600 and decided to get one.
After a weekend playing with it i'm astounded ! The lack of contrast I can live with, but my reader wouldn't let me page in sunlight! The new page is hardly readable. Letters are missing and there are large white areas on the screen. It is very reproducable: when I tried indoors with sunny blotches on the screen, after paging the blotches where the sunlight was are bleached out. When paging in the dark again, all is fine.
Does anyone else have these problems or is it just my reader?
(sent it back first thing this morning)

Thanks,

Jan
