Drezin, If you go and read the Amazon reviews, you will definitely find a few from owners who had this issue. This is how I first found out about the screen fade issue with Kindles. It isn't clear to me if it is something that affects all E-ink displays in all reader, all Kindle E-ink displays or only certain Kindle displays.

The person whose review I read exchanged his Kindle thrice and he still had the issue in all three but the third one didn't fade as much so he kept it. Of course there are a lot of happy kindle owners out there and it is most likely a defect with some Kindles and not all...although on the flip side, not many Kindle owners are necessarily reading in direct sunlight all the time.
