Not true. Kindle uses e-ink technology which is the same as the non-color Nook, the Sony, the Kobo, and I'm sure many other lesser-known models. It's only color models that are difficult to read in direct sunlight, because they are backlit. E-ink screens are not backlit, which is why you need an external light source to read.
