In that case you must be the proud owner of one of those new transflective screens which you can read in sunlight for more than several minutes without doing your eyes in. I envy you. Or maybe you haven't actually tried for more than a few minutes? Because it's a scientific fact that current LCD's can't pull off even 1:1.5 contrast in sunlight, which is NOT good enough for reading.

Well a farmer might find that his old banger is good enough to lug sacks of potatoes around, but that still doesn't stop it from being an old banger. I just refuse to accept that there are no reasonable standards for a device aiming to replace a pbook, and that all such standards are subjective.
