It was actually unreadable. I pressed HOME button and that screen was not quite as bad with darker and lighter horizontal lines running through it. I cannot believe that this is acceptable to Sony. I can read my Kindle 2 with no problem outside - in sun and shade - so the e-ink theory does not hold up for me.
Wow - this would've been a dealbreaker for me. I'm so disheartened now for summer reading of my library books. I wish I would've seen this thread prior to purchasing. Crapolla! Mary from WI

Oh no. I think you need to return/exchange it!
That is not acceptable!
I've had three different Sony Readers -- two 505s and a 900 and all have been fine.
