Screen brightness non-existentCons: simply too dark to read
I was excited to get this as a gift but the screen is so dim it's unreadable in all but the brightest light. I kept looking for a backlight function and there isn't one! I will be returning this item and looking for something that I can actually use. Save yourself the trouble and don't purchase this unit .

Compare to KindleI purchased both the Sony Touch Reader and the Kindle 6" global Wireless. I had a difficult time with the Sony due to the touch screen. If anything brushes against it it will change pages. I spent a lot of time searching to find my place. The screen is hard to read and my lamp above my bed reflects on the screen making it more difficult to read. The Kindle has a much clearer screen with no reflections. Ordering books is a bit easier with the Sony but free books were a bonus with Amazon. The fact that they are about the same price it was a no brainer. I returned the Sony and I will keep the Kindle.
