In my enthusiasm for the PRS-350 - which I explained to friends, was the only device I had come across which became clearer in direct sunlight - I gave mine away and bought the PRS-600. Went on holiday in the Caribbean and couln't read a word on it!
It is almost amusing to consider that Sony, having produced such an excellent device for reading, then consider it an improvement to reduce screen visibility!
Iam now looking for an adhesive matt film I can stick over it - or anyone out there who would like to swop it for the price of the original one I gave away?

I can't believe that in the 21st Century we are still squinting at screens instead of persuing reflection reducing surfaces for these devices.

Maybe the technology has been bought and locked away by the manufacturers of specs and eye wrinkle removal cream?
