Well, both yes and no. As far as I know, an eReader should not be used in cold conditions, especially not below sub-zero temperatures. I've seen a fair amount of Kindle users reporting their Kindle as dead after having used them in cold conditions.

I don't know how other eReaders perform in various temperatures, but I believe that all devices with e-ink screen has this limitation, as it has something to do with the technology behind an e-ink screen. However, I'm not a hundred percent sure
