An ereader needs to be both heat and freeze resistant in Aus. We also have snow, and ski resorts .... and even compete in the Winter Olympics (and hold medals in certain events!).

The main thing though in summer is the humidity factor depending on whether one lives near the coast or not. Because when it's humid it means your fingers can sweat without you necessarily realising it until you go to touch something, like a Kobo ereader for example. So water resistant is good, but humid sweating fingers haven't affected my Glo so there is some tolerance already built in.
