If you are having trouble reading with your Kindle in direct sunlight, then you may have a defective screen. The screen on the Kindle should allow you to read in direct sunlight. I have a 505 with the same 6" Vizplex screen as the K1 & K2 and I have no idssues reading in direct sunlight.

The biggest issue of the Kindle is that it has it's own DRMed format. Meaning if you wanted to say buy a PRS-900 or a nook or some other reader, your DRMed eBooks would not work. You are basically locked into the Kindle unless you can strip the DRM and convert.
