I recently had someone ask an interesting question. Her question was, what is the operating temperature range of eInk readers? This is a very on-point question as she lives in Mojave, CA, and frequently spends time outdoors when the ambient temps hit 120F or higher - that's 49C for the rest of the world. And another friend of mine lives *and works* in Alaska where he can experience reading conditions at the *other* extreme -50F/-46C!

So, does anyone have experience or knowledge of how the average Sony PRS will deal with these ambient temperature extremes?
