I hope it's better than the N810, which seemed to me almost as bad as the N800 when I was trying to use it in the car yesterday. I found it not usable.

I would be totally unhesitant to take my Kindle to read on the beach, but I don't think I'd even bother to take my N810 there on a sunny day unless I was sure I'd have some decent shade. We have quite a lot of sun here in Southern California.
