How will it work on the beach for reading

I can read mine. I have a Tech Armor Maximum Screen Protector Anti-Glare for my Kindle. I then turn the brightness up as high as it will go. The screen will be a little dark, but you can see to read OK.

I really wish that I knew! Unfortunately, living in Central Illinois, I have not seen a beach in far too many years.Protective quality is great, I am not sure about brightness but you can just check that outside. No matter what I would definitely recommend you check out the WATERPROOF covers they have available.

We used ours at the beach, if you can stake it down fairly well (not just in sand), it does pretty well.

I read while riding by holding the book flat across display. Leaning on elbows works but you have to hold the book in air a bit. Definitely worth it.

Unfortunately I don't know how it is on the beach/sand. It's a great net and we travel with it a lot but haven't tried the beach yet. As long as you can get the posts in deep enough to secure it, I think it would work well. Good luck.

If your thinking about using it at a sandy beach I would say yes. It works well for me at 235#.

Yes, as long as the book or paper can be sufficiently propped open. Someone might have to set page holders, if they are needed. It may also be best on a table or hard surface.

I think it will depend on the type of beach. Some beaches like on the Atlantic are somewhat hard. The wheels look fairly wide so it would probably work okay there. However, the sand is deep and very soft like sugar along the Gulf. I have a beach cart with very large balloon tires(Wheeleez) and it works best for that but it cost 3X this one.

Hi Sadie,I don't think it makes much difference reading outside in direct sunlight. You will still get some reflections from your surroundings.I have bought four iVisor for myself and grandchildren iPads primarily to protect the screen from scratches and spills.Jack

It's good for both indoor and outdoor use. It's not as as good as the little Nook Simple touch for outdoor reading because that is strickly with no backlighting. I take my simple touch to the pool and park all the time. But for the HD+ it does work outdoors fine but I find it's less easy to manage and tote around if you're going to ball games or other places. But I still bring it because I can use my kindle app to read books from amazon as well as my ones from Barnes and noble.

This is a pretty rugged unit. I think it will take the bouncing, splashing and general abuse OK but the display is on the small side and you would have trouble reading it on the go. You'll probably need to stop once in a while to read it.

I don't know how it is on the beach. I have only used it on the deck. Very nice lounger. We want to get a second one.

No use using it at all once it quits reading accurately. Mine quit working after a few months. If it works at all, it can be used outside as well as inside. It uses batteries.

Not real sure havent used it on he beach yet. I think it will with the proper stakes to hold it down and with some items inside it.

It does great at the beach. Even on a windy day, we cranked it up and could hear it from the water. Best purchase ever.

I use the tablet outdoors when the weather is nice but that would be usually in the shade and I find it satisfactory. Reading the tablet in bright sunshine, for me, is a bit of a challenge. I have found that positioning the tablet so it is shaded in sunlight makes for better reading....like say putting your body between the sun and the Nook.

Probably not the best bike for reading. You need to be holding onto the grips when riding. This will give you the best workout.

Yes and no. I have used it as "instant read" and most of the time it worked. I did run into a couple times however when after the first reading I had to turn it off then back on to get a reading. Don't know why. It will give a good reading almost immediately. If all your looking for is instant read a better option maybe something like the Oxo, or another, dedicated instant read. It cannot be put in the oven though, not made for that. I have and use both.
