However, it's still very comfortable to read in moderate or bright light (under a lamp or outdoors). In dim light, you'll want to use a reading light or turn on the device's backlight.
There are no reflection problems at all with the older Pixel Qi screens and I can't imagine that they'd be stupid enough to put a glossy, reflective finish on a screen intended to be viewed with reflected light.

Interresting...I don't know if the "new" PixelQi is very different from the one you have, but the one thing that struck me when I saw the pic posted by olis is that the E-Ink screen looks way more white, the PixelQI being kind of green~gray, which you confirmed. That's a noticeable drawback to me, Pixel QI can make black as dark they want and have the highest contrast technically, I prefer white as background color. I wonder if the could make a "whiter" LCD screen, but I'm affraid it's inherent to the technoloy (sorry for the bad english).
