Reading Kindle with Sunglasses
Dear fellow Kindle owners:
Any problems reading one's Kindle with sunglasses that have UV protection/polarized lenses, I ask this because its practically impossible to read LCD readers such as an iphone or itouch with sunglasses as one sees a polarization effect. Any problems with the Kindle? |

Nope. Read with my sunglasses for 10 days in Hawaii.

eInk screens don't rely on polarisation of light unlike LCDs so are completely unaffected by any polarising filters in your sunglasses.

You shouldn't have any problems with it, but I have problems reading anything with my old prescription sunglasses.
