What is "long periods" to you that it precludes any reading in direct sunlight? I have never had an overheating incident despite reading in direct sunlight for a couple hours at at time.
And the last few days I have been reading in approximately -5°C weather at my bus stop with no problems. And that is probably just the operating temperature, not a storage temperature, which is likely lower. As long as you let it warm up or aren't outside with it too long your coat pocket is just fine.
Yes, I do need to take the e-reader inside at night rather than leaving it in my car. From that perspective, I suppose it is more delicate than a normal book. But then again, I have seen many paperback books fail at the bindings and start losing pages. I haven't seen that in an e-reader. Paper books certainly aren't any better in water than e-readers either. You can put an e-reader in a plastic baggy and read all day in the rain. Good luck doing that with a paper book.

I live in South Georgia where it can get to 115F in the summer with 100% humidity and I never have over heating problems.
