It certainly loses some readability (like any LCD) in daylight but is still quite visible nonetheless. Reading eBooks is definitely possible. It doesn’t overheat either. However, in direct sunlight it is more difficult to use and may in fact overheat if left there for a long period. However, Kindles suffer in that scenario as well because of their plastic displays’ sunlight reflections. Personally, I wouldn’t even want to read print media in direct sunlight because they often get so bright that they hurt my eyes. After all, everything reflects the sun.
