She does say that page turn slow down in there - we both wondered whether the heat is doing that - but the device goes back to normal when it cools down.
I am tempted to try with my old PRS900 - as I don't use it anymore very often. It's my beach/pool reader, the one I don't mind mistreating.

I hate cell phones, or as I think of them--Dick Tracy toys--, but I finally broke down and bought a cheap trac phone last year to keep in the truck for emergencies. My nephew told me I couldn't keep it in the truck during the summer though because the heat would destroy it. But I've kept it in its pouch, clipped to the vizor, ever since I got it and only bring it into the house on Sundays to recharge the battery. I know that when it's 95 to 100% outside, that with the windows rolled-up, it must be about the same temp as a suana inside. The phone was still working fine after a year until I dropped it on concrete a couple of weeks ago. Actually, I tried to catch it before it hit the ground and ended up batting onto the concrete much harder than it would have hit if I'd have just let it drop. But those high temps don't seem to bother cell phones.
