In a hot place for a long time, the over heating is a legitimate concern in summer, and so far I have just been out by the pool for about four hours - it was under a towel while I took some swimming breaks. For a few hours it was fine, but then it only got up to 94 that day.
The glare isn't really worse than a magazine with slick paper - a little annoying but not undoable. I mostly read in the tub and bathroom lighting isn't a problem - in the pictures I was at a resturaunt with sunlight coming in the windows behind me.
I would say let it cool periodically if you are somewhere hot. Since it is in a waterproof dry bag, you could stick it in the ice chest for a few while on the beach. If you get a locking Coleman chest that would help with security for wallet etc as well.
