Like the original Kindle, is the screen still visible in the sun?
Like the IPAD you can't really use it in the sun light on the beach.
If you put it on max brightness, you can see it somewhat in daylight, for example i sometimes use it in car with the sun coming in window. However, what you are talking about is an e-Ink screen, and no it does not have that. There are still kindles that offer that, even a wristwatch that offers it i think, but none of the color tablets with full interactivity really offer that because it's a little too slow to update those screens and I'm sure there are other issues.
