Put your Kindle in a waterproof case, which will protect the screen as well, find a decently protective place in your pack to carry it, and enjoy!

NO intention of being disrespectful ApK; but bottom line everything is electrochemical....
For E-ink specifically its a fluid with reacts to electric impulses.
Electromagnetic actually, as every electric field has a magnetic field associated to it; and every magnetic field has an electric field in presence of a conductor of an electrical field associated to it.
That being said, usually metaloid compounds react to temperature. As most devices are designed to work under "standard conditions" and a a range (+/- X) (ie: 1 atm preasure, 25°C); when going off limits, some failures may occur.
