Anyway it was just an observation from my use. That can't be incorrect, right?
My wife owns a K2 and I own a PRS-505 (blue) and I can attest to what you're saying. I had to switch back and forth once during a vacation (reading out by the pool) and I definitely felt more eye strain with the K2 when out in the sun. In fact, I even got a headache and had to wait until we got back to the hotel to finish up my chapter on my 505. Of course, that may have been from the pina colavas.
