I do. I might also leave my e-ink reader in a car, or in a rucksack outside next to a ski-lift station when I go skiing. The refresh is noticeably slower, but so far even -20 centigrade did not damage .

I try not to leave my reader in a car in summer, and when I have to I put it in a heavy box under some clothes in a trunk. I used to leave my reader in a [zipped-up] tent in the summer - again in a box and usually rolled up in my sleeping bag.

I have even used my e-ink reader in an infra sauna, with temperatures up to 60°C, for up to 25 minutes. I do not do that anymore, but the reader survived a few such sessions.
