Blank screen when reading outside
Last year I bought a Pocketbook Touch HD2 and overall I like the reader.
There is one thing though I really don't like and that's the fact that when reading outside at moderate temperatures, the screen at some point turns white. I have to cool down the reader and after a while I can continue reading. It happens with direct and indirect sunlight on the screen. Today, a nice day with temps of 24 degrees, it happened twice. Is this normal behavior? Does anyone recognize this? |

I experienced the same problem with a non-Pocketbook reader device.

I had a Sony PRS650 which is almost 10 years old and I never had any problems. Well, till the battery died, that's why I bought the Touch HD2. My wife has the same Sony and she is still reading without problems, sun or no sun! So, I decided to buy a battery and replace the one in my Sony! At least I can read outside when it is sunny weather!

Maybe the reader sadly isn't made for reading in those temperatures. The manual for Touch HD2 says to avoid direct sunlight. On page 6: http://support.pocketbook-int.com/fw...ch_HD_2_EN.pdf
