Depending on how the OLED screen is implemented, it could be wonderful in sunlight. I have a Samsung Omnia II, which has an AMOLED screen. When I'm indoors, I usually keep the backlight turned off - when I go outside, I turn it on, and I have no problems with visibility, even on the brightest days.

Freda displays white text on a black background when run on my Omnia II, and it works very well on the AMOLED screen. I think that would definitely make it easier to read (you could turn off the backlight) and help with the battery use. However, now that I have an e-ink reader, I can defintiely say that for long-term book reading, e-ink is easier on the eyes (YMMV).
