I'm still kind of holding onto hope that the Notion Ink Adam will show up before the end of the year, though.

Although your observation that dark absorbs heat can be important in Arizona. I left my dark blue Sony PRS-505 in direct 100 deg. F sun for about 10 minutes, and it got quite hot to the touch (135 deg. on the back and 130 deg. on the screen according to my infrared thermometer). This caused fading of letters, which I find understandable, because Sony says not to subject it to intense heat or light, and says the top operating temp is 95 F. I had been reading in the shade in that 100 deg weather for 2 hours beforehand with no problems.
Now, I don't know if a white casing would have made much difference, just wanted to let you know these results. I'm getting the graphite (I live in the northeast).
