I forget to turn on the AC power one time so the eDGe gave notice that the battery was getting low. I charged it from around 15% and noticed after some time that the bottom half of the eink (reader on the right) was quite hot (not the normal warmth I was accustomed to). I was not able to determine the temperature though.

It got me thinking about buying a cooling stand. I found a 3-fan cooler at Amazon:

I quite like the fact that the fans have adjustable positions and the cooler provides a tilt. (I'm propping my eDGe with a couple of books right now when I have to do heavy reading.) But I'm quite apprehensive about the possible consequence of three fans, albeit small, drawing power from the eDGe via USB. Is anybody using a cooling stand? (Please provide brand or image if possible.) How does it affect the performance of the eDGe?

Thanks. Looking forward to your posts.
