This is not normal and Sony will exchange the device, read this thread for other stories.

From Sony's site (click on features tab):

Quote:
Paper-like display for easy reading

The Reader Touch Edition™ utilizes E InkŪ Vizplex™ screen technology to deliver an amazing, paper-like display that’s more like ink on paper and fully readable in direct sunlight.
Call Sony or try chat again, if this was normal then they wouldn't be touting the ability for the PRS-600 to be fully readable in direct sunlight.

The chat person needs to be properly trained. If you get the same run around move your complaint up the chain to a supervisor.

My PRS-505 does not fade at all.
