I've owned maybe 7-8 e-readers over the years. Only my first and current ones are not broken. My first one was a Rocket Book which was a heavy thick brick. I used for years until it became obsolete and I couldn't even transfer data to it with current operating systems.
I had a sony, which got its screen cracked. I had a nook; dropped it a few times and then the battery stopped charging. Amazingly the screen didn't crack. Bought another nook, this time with accidental damage insurance, which I used twice for cracked screens before that expired. I think I'm on my third Kobo; each time I've replaced the Kobo, I've upgraded to a larger screen.
I'd never ever leave any electronic device I cared about in a car, especially if it had a rechargeable battery or a touch screen. Four hours in the sun is likely to not only damage the screen, but kill the battery so it won't charge ever again.
If I had taken an Aura HD to the beach, I'd have kept it with me, either in a Ziploc bag, or in a Pelican case.
