Blaming someone for leaving the reader in the sun a bit much -- these things are sold over tablets for reading in the sun.
Kobo's built is definitely not as good as a Kindle DX. The Kobo squeaks and flexes noticeably at minimal pressure, while the Kindle DX does not. I have had a number of readers over the years, the Kobos are the only ones to break.
Plus, Kobos customer service is at a level I'd expect from a Chinese manufacturer of $30 readers. Nowhere near the level of service provided by Amazon.
Wait until you have to deal with them....

My H2O will be a year old come this Thanksgiving. It does not squeak or flex. It works very well. Personally, I would never leave a Reader in a car. The heat in the car from the sun can reach well over 100 degrees F. Readers are not designed for such extreme temperatures.
Would you put a regular drinking glass in the microwave and boil water in it for a few hours? In the car, you are submitting the glass substrate to 100+ temperatures.
