In dimmer light such as lamp light or just natural daytime light indoors or in shade, the text looks blacker. With the full brightness of the sun, your eyes perceive it for what it really is, and that makes it look like it "fades." If I'm correct, you will encounter this issue with all e-ink screens, not just the Sony.
You can see samples of the defective fading screens here and here.
