-no mini-USB (I already lost another GPS on this)
-a reader than can goes in summer heat and direct sunlight (40°C) as the current one had the e-ink screen turning slowly darker (until I would not be able to distinguish letters from the background) when under hot sunlight.

Thank you for your help

I have come up with the answer for your criteria. PAPER BOOKS! They don't have a USB port. They work in the heat, and they can be read in direct sunlight.
