I really don't think it is heat related. I have never experienced a slowdown with any of my readers even when reading outside in the hot Texas summertime. I've currently got a Kindle WiFi and a Kindle DXG with Pearl screens and have not encountered any slowdowns. The DXG has not shown any issues, but the K3 occasionally shows some lines of text as lighter than others. I simply refresh the screen and the issue is resolved. But that is a different issue and probably needs firmware to correct. The slowdown issue is quite possibly a formatting problem, that is the book was formatted incorrectly. Or in the case of the 350 it could be a slow processor being overwhelmed. Which processor does the 350 use? I know my 300 had a VERY slow processor, 200 MHz I think. I'll get my 350 tomorrow in the mail and then give it a go outside in our hot and humid Texas climate, but I really don't think that is the issue.
