You can, however, it's not the best condition. You may have to adjust your screen bightness.

It's a little difficult in direct sunlight. I've took it to the pool with me and sat in the shade or used a towel to cast a shadow and that is fine.

You can see the screen in the sun. The privacy protector doesn't work if the brightness is high. Hope this is helpful.

Yes indeed! There is a brightness setting (which is easily accessible via drop down menu) that lets you adjust to accommodate any lighting condition. I read during my lunch hour, and I can read just as easily outside as I can in the lounge.

It is only clear enough that if you have light going through, it would be shown. For example, the mac sign is visible because it is lit - otherwise, it probably wouldn't be visible.

No, it is not black lit but easy to read. You can also use a keyboard on the actual display.

it really depends on what you need done. If it is the only source of light it will not be bright enough in that size room for reading. In the evening.

Not in direct sunlight but readable in indirect sunlight.Very good in cloudy weather.The main reason I use anti-glare idea for use in areas where there are very bright overhead lights.Also good for stopping self-reflection.ScottyJavea

If you turn the light on, yes. If not, you'll have to get real close to be able to read it. The thing with this unit is that it is pretty loud. Loud enough that I had to remove it from my living room because the noise was bothering me.

Yes, but I don't recommend it as it diminishes your readability. Thank goodness that I have my original Kindle so that I can read in bright light and sunshine.

Yes you can. My son read it in the car when it was dark and he didn't complain. Lately I have been using it at night to read and its okay. I don't like it on my head but if you position it right toward the book its fine. Kind of bright. Its a great purchase but maybe a book lamp would help if your sole purpose is to read at night.

I don't think so, but I'm not positive. I'm actually disappointed in the product. Doesn't offer enough light; definetly not great for reading.

It may very well be. I haven't tried reading in the sun but it might do the job. Not sure. Sorry.

I found it easy to read in both bright daylight and at twilight. Since I only use mine when the camera is mounted on a tripod I would be comfortable using it -- with the aid of either a headlamp or an assistant holding a flashlight -- after dark.

I've read with it outside without problem. However, just like with any device the light play (where the light is in relation to you and the device) is going to factor in. There are multiple color options though, which may help alleviate any lighting issue. There is Black and White (Black Letters, White Background), White and Black (White Letters, Black Background), and Sepia.

I really haven't used it in the sun ! But I really don't think it would work like a e-reader in the sun .
