If so many people struggle with backlit screens outside, why do I see so many people using iPhones/Androids/Touches outside in places like Starbucks/Panera?

I suspect that most them use mentioned above gadgets for different purposes.

How many transatlantic flights do you go on? And on those flights, how often do you spend 12+ hours with your eyes glued to a reader?

Honestly, not that many. However, I was stuck in delays. Sometimes unexpected places. Unexpected times. Things you would never think they could happen, so you would not make sure your reading device is fully charged every single time you leave your home. My eBook reader has never failed me, so far.
