Need help. Can't see screen in sun

You're a braver soul than me about going to the beach in December 🙂.

I put the brightness all the way up and read the screen from below my sunglasses. When the weather was still nice enough to go to the beach, I would sit under my beach umbrella to read.

Although I haven't tried it personally, I've read that the NuShield protector is specially made to be anti-reflective and cancel out the sun's glare.

You'd better get yourself a nice winter coat though. Kinda cold in England these days. LOL

Regarding your iPad problem, my suggestion is: DON'T USE IT ON THE BEACH unless you have a very good pair of UVA and UVB proof sunglasses.

Since iPad screen is made of glass, it increases the amount of sun rays reflected into your retina, even if you can't really notice it. This extra amount of sun light directed to your eyes can be harmful in a mid-term basis.

The hint here is valid for any kind of reading under sunlight, even the old good paper.

The bottom line is, always read under a good shadow. 😉

Cheers.

I have never had any luck in direct sunlight and it heats up the devices too much in direct sunlight anyway. I did find that I could use them at the beach under an umbrella though.

Alas, there's not much you can do. Even in bright shade (under your beach umbrella, for instance) the screen just doesn't display well in bright light.

Going to the beach. Last time I couldn't see the screen in the sun. What can I do?

Go to Settings/General and switch it into Kindle Mode:-)

You should move to England. No need to worry about things like the Sun here.
