The Mirasol screen is very good. I can use it during the day inside without front lighting. I have been using it like this as an eReader on and off all day today and the battery is still over 90%. I'm pretty sure it is wifi that eats the battery. Although front lighting at night is best, I can use the device at night while sitting under halogen lighting without front lighting. I loaded some pictures from my computer and they look great without the front lighting and just OK with front lighting turned on. Front lighting tends to accent the low resolution of the display.

Awesome.

The two biggest issues that I saw in the reviews were the colors and the amount of time that the front light was needed. Great to hear that you arent seeing similar things.

If Amazon does come out with a Mirasol enabled ereader, I think the fact that you can use the device in the dark would be a nice advantage over the current Kindle.
