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.

The fact is, that even some backlit devices are perfectly readable in direct sunlight... Most people just want to ignore transflective screens. It's a technology on which the PixelQi screens are based upon...
