My Kindle is connected to a card that has no money on it and no credit facility. I don't purchase from the device so just change the card over on Amazon when I want to purchase something then set it back. I may be overcautious though.
I'm taking a few paperbacks in case I get an exposed sun lounger (some are by the wall - great, others are in multiple rows) or don't feel the Kindle is safe in my bag. I will still take the Kindle as I'm likely to read two books a day whilst on holiday, as we are literally going for a pool side holiday, and if I took enough books I'd be the one having to go nakkid!
I have had laptops, mobile phones and DVD players out in the sun before and left in the car which can get very hot in the sun and it's all been fine.
