Yeah, I'm convinced that it's my cool-er's screen that is the problem, I think in general the screens are probably fine.

We do sometimes - it was on a rare sunny day in England that I first noticed the problem. I'd only just got to my hotel when the device stopped booting so I couldn't actually try it on the beach itself.

Alternatively, there may be not a lot of people thinking of reading in full sunshine
That's a very good point, thanks!
Now to wait for another sunny enough day.
