I am afraid that there are many, many people that do not realize that there are non-backlit LCD displays. Lots of people can not understand that displays they see on calculators, old mobile phones, cheap digital watches and old palm organizers are too LCD, just different than their new TV or flat monitor. So when you hear that lcd can not be read pn direct sunlight you can see that that person does not understand what an LCD display is.
My calculator, my old digital watch and also my previous book reading device - Cassiopeia A-20 were perfectly readable on direct sunlight. Jetbook features display that is two generations ahead of my Cassiopeia screen, so I am pretty sure that its display is perfectly readable.
I just wouldn't go so far as claim that either display is clearly superior to the other one. The displays are different.
Let's have a look at some pictures that I found using google.
