The screen on my PRS900 fades in the sun. After reading a bit about the issue on these forums and around, I decided to call SONY. They agreed to replace the unit.

But I am in Italy now - until September - so shipping is kind of problematic - or, at least, not free. So they agreed on replacing my unit in September, when I get back home to the States.

So now I get to treat my device with utter disrespect - no worries about sand, scratches, sun lotion on it - I am getting a new one in September.

Yet, no reading under direct sunlight either.

Anyhow... I just figured I'd share...
