eink is flawed under the sun

I just discovered a technology flaw I think, but I don't have a different reader to test: under bright sun, the page is not displayed properly



Half of the screen was covered, and half exposed to the sun. The difference is notable.

It doesn't seem to cause side effects, a refresh without sun exposure works fine, but I don't feel comfortable using it too much under the sun, and the contrast is poor.

It is after all one of the key selling points, it should be "great under the sun".

Can anyone test this on other readers?

Cheers.

PS: I hope this isn't a duplicate thread on the subject, I only did a quick search and couldn't find one.
