When it is below 0 F, eInk doesn't fare very well. I have read outdoors under such conditions, which is how I know that. I have also used LCD based devices to read outdoors under such conditions, just so that I could read for extended periods. It actually isn't so bad if you're bundled up properly and have a device with physical buttons for turning pages. (Touch screens and gloves don't work very well.)
Sorry, I should of course have said "below freezing". In the UK the Celsius scale is used almost exclusively, so people often say "below zero" as a synonym for "below freezing".
