We need more outdoor-capable electronics. There was a company that made drop in replacement laptop/netbook displays which are (nearly) full colour indoors but turn (nearly) monochrome high contrast under strong sunlight. I'd like more of that sort of stuff.

Zaydan Naufal Yeah i have Vizplex based e-readers, but they aren't very suitable for general tasks, actually i have one SONY with a touchscreen and it's an annoying piece of garbage, and i had one by Chinese company Hanlin customised by a Ukrainian partner company, LBook, it was actually top notch. I used to do quite a bit on my Casio PocketViewer and Psion5 in the late 90s, early 2000s. Those had monochrome screens, worked nicely enough in sunlight. I'm pretty sure i had some pretty hefty books on my PocketViewer as well. Oh wait i should just drop some batteries in there, i bet it still has all the data from back then... as opposed to Palm Pilot and Handspring Visor... although Visor Edge just feels SO NICE, i actually have one of those as well, so nice. I actually still play the original Gameboy Advance outdoors :D the only game console that works in the sun better than indoors.

I think once you reach adulthood it's generally stable and doesn't change much, and it has age farsightedness to fight against. Honestly i prefer myopia to farsightedness. Good glasses can massively take the strain off you, have them adjust yours to screen use by adding a tiny bit of compensation.

@Núi_Lang_Thang No. Why. It's not a solution to anything in particular, i don't have ambitions of solving world myopia or anything like that - though i'd love to be able to do more work and stuff outdoors in summer, so i don't have to skip all the sunlight. I also don't suggest removing anything. You can have a more powerful laptop/pc/etc but having an extra netbook you can use in sunlight would be awesome, even if you aren't gonna watch movies on it - you can still do a lot of text work. If you have a better solution, please share. I am lead to believe that full colour reflective or incident-light display is technically impossible, physically impossible.
