Hello!

I've recently become a happy owner of the PRS505, it's a beautiful device.
I've just noticed a curious thing -- I wonder if anyone else experienced this, or is it just my eyes playing tricks?
When a part of the screen is exposed to direct sunlight while turning a page, the new page has different contrast across it: the text on the part that was exposed to sunlight is noticeably lighter than the text that was in the shade. It all goes back to normal when you refresh the screen.
Did you see it?
